Literature

Rump Parliament Oliver Cromwell (1648) sent two regiments to the House of Commons to coerce the members to condemn Charles I. Forty-one were seized and imprisoned in a lower room of the House, 160 were ordered to go home, and the sixty favourable to Cromwell were allowed to remain. These sixty were merely the fag-end or rump of the whole House. (See Pride's Purge .)
The name was revived again in the protectorate of Richard Cromwell. Subsequently the former was called The Bloody Rump, and the latter The Rump of a Rump.
"The few,
Because they're wasted to the stumps,
Are represented best by rumps."

Specialty Definition: Rump Parliament

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Rump Parliament was the remnant of the Long Parliament, following Pride's Purge (1648). This parliament ordered the execution of Charles I, abolished the monarchy and House of Lords, and formed the Commonwealth of England (1649). The Rump was dissolved by Oliver Cromwell in 1653 when it failed to meet his expectations, and was replaced with the "Barebones Parliament".

The Rump was recalled by Cromwell's son, Richard, after he was appointed Lord Protector in 1658. It demanded his resignation, which was readily obtained.
