Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick (1587-1658) Long Caption: A puritan, Rich directed much of the policy for the colonization of America in the 1620s. He was appointed Lord High Admiral just before the Civil War, and was thus in opposition to the King and the Earl of Northumberland, but he completely won over the fleet to Parliament for the whole of the war. He did not serve after the King's execution.
