Pride's Purge
The Long Parliament, not proving itself willing to condemn Charles
I., was purged of its unruly members by Colonel Pride, who
entered the House with two regiments of soldiers, imprisoned sixty
members, drove one hundred and sixty out into the streets, and left
only sixty of the most complaisant.
