 Berkshire History: Biographies: William Lenthall (1591-1662)
William Lenthall, the Speaker of the House of Commons, was the son of William Lenthall Senior, of Lachford in Oxfordshire, and Frances Southwell.
Hence, he was careful to be found on the stronger side throughout the vicissitudes of the Civil War; and, though opposed to the King's trial, he still presided during the debates upon it, in fear lest he should provoke the wrath of Cromwell and his party.
The humility of this epitaph cannot altogether rob it of its truth, for Lenthall was a weak man, timorous by nature and incapable of exalting his principles above avarice and self-interest.
