A devout puritan, Henry Ireton was an immediate parliamentarian
activist rising to the rank of Commissary-General of the New Model
Army. Ireton shared Oliver Cromwell's religious enthusiasm and
acted as one of his political mentors. Ireton, more than any other
individual, even Cromwell, brought about the execution of Charles
I. Indeed it was Ireton's influence, symbolised by his marriage to
Bridget Cromwell, that did much to persuade Cromwell to become a
regicide. Ireton's importance was through the theoretical and
practical framework he provided for the revolution of 1647-9. As
the 'penman' of the revolutionary army Ireton was an author of its
significant political statements. Ireton was at the heart of the
army's Heads of the Proposals, their attempt at settlement with the
king in 1647, he was its chief negotiator with the Levellers at the
Putney and Whitehall Debates and Ireton was chiefly responsible for
the 1648 Remonstrance that justified the army's purge of Parliament
and called for execution of justice on Charles I. In 1649 both
Ireton and Cromwell embarked on the conquest of Ireland, Ireton
remaining there as Lord Deputy until he died on campaign in 1651.
