 On 3 March 1660, Lambert was sent to the Tower of London, from which he escaped a month later.He tried to rekindle the civil war in favour of the Commonwealth by issuing a proclamation calling on all supporters of the "Good Old Cause" to rally on the battlefield of Edgehill, but he was recaptured by Colonel Richard Ingoldsby, a participant in the regicide of Charles I who hoped to win a pardon by handing Lambert over to the new regime.Lambert was incarcerated and died in custody on Guernsey in 1694; Ingoldsby was indeed pardoned.
