## Bio

Oliver Cromwell was an English farmer and MP whose life before 1640 was marked by failure — he nearly emigrated to New England. When civil war broke out in 1642, he discovered a talent for command. By 1645 he led the cavalry that broke the Royalists, and in January 1649 he was among those who sent Charles I to the scaffold. Military victories in Ireland and Scotland secured the Commonwealth, and in December 1653 Cromwell became Lord Protector, a role he held until his death in 1658. His son Richard couldn't hold the regime together. Two years later the monarchy returned, and Cromwell's corpse was exhumed from Westminster Abbey, hanged at Tyburn, beheaded, and his head spiked on Westminster Hall for decades.
