A member of the most radical wing of the Puritans, he was elected governor of Massachusetts in 1636, but returned to join the Long Parliament in 1637. Vane's stay in Massachusetts was tempestuous, and he returned to England in 1637 to become a member of the Long Parliament, though his interest in New England continued. After the Restoration he was imprisoned for two years, convicted of treason, and executed.
