Thomas Venner

Thomas Venner

Thomas Venner (died 19 January 1661) was a cooper who became the last leader of the Fifth Monarchy Men, who tried unsuccessfully to overthrow Oliver Cromwell in 1657, and subsequently led a coup in London against the newly-restored government of Charles II. This event, known as "Venner's Rising", lasted four days (1 January - 4 January 1661) before the Royal authorities captured the rebels. The rebel leadership suffered execution on 19 January 1661.
