Browne Bushell

Browne Bushell (bap. 1609, d. 1651), was an English Civil War-era naval officer. He initially sided with the Roundheads. On the night of 15 August 1641 he led a small parliamentary force in a cutting out operation to capture the Henrietta Marie in Portsmouth Harbour. In 1643 he switched to the royalist side. He was executed for treason in March 1651.
