The changing fortunes of war might often give rise to changing fortunes for those who backed the wrong side! During Cromwell's rule, The Committee for Compounding set about redistributing wealth from those who had supported the wrong side to those who had backed the winner. Many of these awards would, needless to say, be reversed in 1660 when Charles II got his throne back. Note that the value of Major Babington's land seems suspiciously high.
