Thomas Maynard came out to Lisbon as Consul and remained for 36 years until 1692. Apparently he was quarrelsome, but survived the fall of the English Commonwealth, the Restoration and the “Glorious Revolution”. He had considerable problems with the Inquisition and at one point was even arrested by them. After his replacement, he went on living in Lisbon, where he died.
