Did he do anything noteworthy besides managing to escape from captivity that one time and acting really smug while his victors were kangaroo courting him? Seems like pretty much it.

Being the sacrificial lamb that ensured Protestantism would forever survive in England and ensuring Cromwell would rise to his peak so that he could export the British system of governor-generalship to the American colonies was actually the greatest thing he could have done. He and Cromwell could never have known it, but by sticking to their respective faiths they led humanity into its golden age.

I don't know how he was viewed contemporaneously in the colonies, but amerisharts later considered John Brown to be akin to him in spirit kek
It's irrelevant to what I was getting anyways. Shortest version of which is that Cromwell's governor-general system of British expansionism, which came about through his reforms of the military, effectively kept those disgusting f*ench bastards and their popery ways from ever gaining a true foothold against the British colonies from Cromwell's days, when they were in their utmost infancy, through William and Anne's Wars, all the way to '76 when they threw off the yoke of another tyrant king.
The long version - start with Webb's volumes and then get back to me
