Richard’s timid, mouse-like demeanour, in great contrast to that of his father, is also represented in the rhyme. Just as surely as he “ran up the clock” he was bound to run down it again, the “one” of the rhyme being the one year during which he held office. As “Hickory Dick” his life at the top was limited by the passage of time. Richard was given several nicknames including “Tumbledown Dick”, which fits the spirit of the nursery rhyme. King Charles saw him as no threat and allowed him to live out his days in obscurity on his estate. Richard was allowed to leave the country for France, where he stayed until 1680 before returning to England. Moves were then set in train for the return of the monarchy.

Oliver Cromwell died in September 1658, having proposed to Parliament that Richard should succeed him. The name of Oliver Cromwell is well known, given that he assumed the title of Lord Protector for most of this period, but that of Richard Cromwell, Oliver’s eldest surviving son, is much less familiar.
