   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.06 sec.

Pride, Thomas (died 1658)

English soldier and regicide. He entered the Parliamentary army in 1644 and distinguished himself at the battle of Naseby. In 1648, to prevent an agreement with King Charles I, Pride stopped nearly a hundred members from taking their seats in Parliament, an act which is known as Pride's Purge. He was a commissioner at the trial of the king and signed the death warrant.
