Answer
Although Lamb was an ambitious man who was willing to seize power from King Charles I, he was never a serious contender for the throne. He was not a member of the nobility, and he did not have the support of the powerful families who controlled the government. Lamb was also not a popular figure among the common people, who saw him as a self-serving opportunist.
