Wikipedia description:
Colonel John Hutchinson (18 September 1615 – 11 September 1664) was an English politician and army officer who played a significant role during the English Civil War. He was a Member of the House of Commons of England from 1646 to 1653 and briefly in 1660. Hutchinson was a prominent Puritan leader and served in the parliamentary army. As a member of the high court of justice in 1649, he was the 13th of 59 Commissioners who signed the death warrant of Charles I of England. After the 1660 Stuart Restoration, he was exempted from the general pardon, barring him from holding public office. Accused of involvement in the Farnley Wood Plot in 1663, he was imprisoned and died in custody. He invested very successfully in buying paintings from the art collection of Charles I after his execution, spending very large amounts relative to his wealth. After a few years, he resold them for substantial profits.
