Sir Thomas Armstrong

Sir Thomas Armstrong (c. 1633 – 20 June 1684) was an English Army officer and politician who was executed for treason. His father, Colonel Sir Thomas Armstrong (died November 1662) fought in the 30 Years War in the Netherlands, was a royalist soldier during the English Civil War, and was twice imprisoned in the Tower of London by Oliver Cromwell during the Commonwealth. Following his implication in the Rye House Plot in 1683, Armstrong was hanged, drawn and quartered for high treason.
