About Thomas Venner
Thomas Venner was an English cooper and rebel who became the last leader of the Fifth Monarchists, 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 beginning on 6 January 1661 before English authorities defeated and captured the rebels, whose leadership were executed on 19 January.
