The Office of the Lord Protector

The office of lord protector was designed to be a king in all but name. Lambert devised an elaborate system of choosing new councillors, with parliament nominating six candidates and the sitting council narrowing the list down to two. Once a councillor was in though they could not simply be dismissed by the lord tector at will. So where dothe to now? Conquered lands stand in the protectorate to take scotland first. The rump had intended to annex the country, but like most everything else, they never got around to it. Barebones's parliament picked up the baton where the rump had dropped it, along with every other baton the rump dropped.
