Known for his flamboyant preaching style that advanced the Puritan cause, he emigrated to America and later returned to England to become a key ally of Oliver Cromwell. Peter was involved in the trial and execution of Charles I and made radical proposals to disestablish the Church of England. He was eventually executed as a regicide after the Restoration.
