William Laud
Archbishop William Laud (7 October 1573 – 10 January 1645) was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1633 to 1645. He pursued a High Church course and opposed radical forms of Puritanism. This and his support for King Charles I resulted in his beheading in the midst of the English Civil War.
- In the 1632-series: Because of his friendship with Wentworth, he was confined to the Tower of London, and, when the American "commandos" succeeded in releasing the American embassy to Charles I, was rescued by Tom Simpson.
