<P> John Lambert was not in London for the trial of Charles I . At the Restoration, he was found guilty of high treason and remained in custody in Guernsey for the rest of his life . Sir Henry Vane the Younger served on the Council of State during the Interregnum even though he refused to take the oath which expressed approbation (approval) of the King's execution . At the Restoration, after much debate in Parliament, he was exempted from the Indemnity and Oblivion Act . In 1662 he was tried for high treason, found guilty and beheaded on Tower Hill on 14 June 1662 . </P> <P> The Instrument of Government, The Protectorate's written constitutions, gave to the Lord Protector the King's power to grant titles of honour . Over 30 new knighthoods were granted under the Protectorate . These knighthoods passed into oblivion upon the Restoration of Charles II, however many were regranted by the restored King . </P> <P> Of the eleven Protectorate baronetcies, two had been previously granted by Charles I during the Civil War--but under Commonwealth legislation they were not recognised under the Protectorate (hence the Lord Protector's regranting of them), however when that legislation passed into oblivion these two baronets were entitled to use the baronetcies granted by Charles I--and Charles II regranted four more . Only one now continues: Sir Richard Thomas Willy, 14th baronet, is the direct successor of Sir Griffith Williams . Of the remaining Protectorate baronets one, Sir William Ellis, was granted a knighthood by Charles II . </P> <P> Edmund Dunch was created Baron Burnell of East Wittenham in April 1658, but this barony was not regranted . The male line failed in 1719 with the death of his grandson, also Edmund Dunch, so no one can lay claim to the title . </P>

During the restoration he was placed back on the throne of england
