About this person

Major-General Thomas Harrison was an English lawyer and military officer who fought for Parliamentarians and Commonwealth of England in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. He was also a prominent member of the radical religious sect known as the Fifth Monarchists. One of the regicides who approved the execution of Charles I in January 1649, Harrison was a strong supporter of Oliver Cromwell before the two fell out when The Protectorate was established in 1653. Following the 1660 Stuart Restoration, he was arrested, found guilty of treason as a regicide, and sentenced to death. Harrison was hanged, drawn and quartered on 13 October 1660, facing his execution with a courage noted by various observers, including the diarist Samuel Pepys.
