The New Model Army at last achieved decisive victory at Naseby, leaving Charles without a field army. It was also a political victory, as they captured (and published) letters in which the King plotted with foreign troops against his subjects.

This is Hardresse Waller, cousin to the more famous Sir William. A regicide, he was condemned to death once Charles II was restored, but his life was spared due to the intervention of well-connected friends.

Montagu was reliably Cromwell's man up until the future Lord Protector's death. Seeing the restoration as inevitable, he was instrumental in bringing Charles II to the throne, not only saving his own neck, but being created the first Earl of Sandwich. Decades later, his great-grandson decided to put stuff between two slices of bread.
