May 1659 CE
The Rump Parliament is recalled on May 7, 1659.
Richard does not resist and refuses an offer of armed assistance from the French ambassador, although it is possible he is being kept under house arrest by the army.
After the Rump agrees to pay his debts and provide a pension, Richard on May 25 delivers a formal letter resigning the position of Lord Protector.
