Thomas Fairfax, 3rd Lord Fairfax of Cameron (17 January 1612 – 12 November 1671) was a general and Parliamentary commander-in-chief during the English Civil War. An adept and talented commander, Fairfax led Parliament to many victories, notably the crucial battle of Naseby, becoming effectively military ruler of the new republic, but was eventually overshadowed by his subordinate Oliver Cromwell, who was more politically adept and radical in action against Charles I. Fairfax became unhappy with Cromwell's policy and publicly refused to take part in Charles's show trial. Eventually he resigned leaving Cromwell to control the republic. Because of this, and also his honourable battlefield conduct and his active role in the Restoration of the monarchy after Cromwell's death, he was exempted from the retribution exacted on many other leaders of the revolution. His dark hair and eyes and a swarthy complexion earned him the nickname "Black Tom".

Fairfax, Factions and the English Civil War
"Fairfax, Factions and the English Civil War" tells the story of the splintering of the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War (or Wars of the Three Kingdoms) through the figure of General Thomas Fairfax. It covers the emergence of the Levellers and True Levellers or Diggers. This is a sequel to "Apocalyptic Sects and the English Civil War." Central to these splinter groups is land policy, specifically the Dissolution of the Monasteries a century previously and the enclosures (privatisation of common land and resulting controversy). It also covers Fairfax's retreat to his estate, Nun Appleton House, in the company of the poet Andrew Marvell.
