Sir Richard Chiverton of the Worshipful Company of Skinners was Lord Mayor of London in 1658. ==Biography== Chiverton was the eldest(?) son of Richard Chiverton (died 1621), of Trehunsey in Quethiock, Cornwall and Isabella (died 1631), daughter of —— Polwhele. Chiverton of the Worshipful Company of Skinners was Lord Mayor of London in 1658. He was knighted on 22 March 1658 by the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell at Whitehall.〔 records that in the list of knights his name was spelt "Richard Chevedon (Chiverton)".〕 Chiverton officiated as mayor in proclaiming Richard Cromwell Lord Protector in September 1658. According to a long report in the ''Mercurius Politicus'', (a newspaper which was sympathetic to the Commonwealth) the proclamation "was followed by loud shouts and acclamations of the people ''God Save the Lord Protector''",〔 cites ''Mercurius Politicus'', 2–9 September 1658.〕 but this was not the universal support implied, and when three days later the proclamation was read in Oxford the Oxford dignitaries and troopers "were pelted with carrot and turnip-tops, by young scholars and others, who stood at a distance".〔 cites Wood, ''Life'' (1772), pp. 115–116.〕 He was the first Cornish Lord Mayor of London and did not fall out of favour at the Restoration as he was considered for membership of the Knights of the Royal Oak. and was knighted by Charles II on 12 October 1663. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Chiverton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
