Treaty of Newport

Treaty of Newport

The failed treaty between Parliament and King Charles I of England, intended to bring an end to the hostilities of the English Civil War. Negotiations were conducted from 15 September, 1648

Parliament appointed 15 Commissioners: Denzil Holles lead a faction that represented a more conservative, Presbyterian interest, and were more inclined for a settlement that favoured the Crown; Henry Vane lead a faction that represented a more moderate, Independent interest, and though they were by no means radical, they acted to secure a settlement which would guarantee the rights gained by Parliament in the Puritan Revolution. Other commissioners include , John Glyn, Nathaniel Fiennes, William Pierrepont, John Crewe, John Potts, Samuel Browne, John Bulkeley, Lords Pembroke, Salisbury, Middlesex, Northumberland, Saye and Sele, and Wenman.
