Oliver Cromwell: del campo de batalla al Lord Protectorado
## Apertura
Oliver Cromwell falleció el **3 de septiembre de 1658** en Londres, marcando el fin de una era que hoy, a 368 años de su muerte, sigue generando intensos debates. Nacido el 25 de abril de 1599 en Huntingdon, se convirtió en una de las figuras más influyentes y controvertidas de la historia…

#BarackObama is also "The Devil" so the "family" (they now claim to be "separate" via a "B Races" vie of #DanielRicciardo #EnzoFerrari) of "Holy Father" spirit #TauCeti with souls #EricLukeTrump #OliverCromwell and #RavayahRaeReynolds #AlyciaKearns née #Ramsay have forfeited their souls to their Light victims for destruction also ("Day destroys the Night")
This was always the plan of the interbreeding #Bee family to survive as long as possible but then they gave #Controversy to "murder the Sun"
It was rumoured that somewhere in my College lay the head of Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell and I went to the same college. I like that.
Also, and more importantly, William Clifford (1845-79). He who discovered the Clifford Algebra. He who made us think about space the modern way.

This is Mary Cromwell, born 1637, third daughter of Oliver Cromwell. The oddities of early Restauration England.
In 1657 Mary had married Thomas Belasyse, Viscount Fauconberg (later 1st Earl of Fauconberg). So here in 1663 she was Mary Fauconberg, or Viscountess Fauconberg. But Pepys refers to her by her father's name. Perhaps a subconscious sign of the overwhelming presence of the dead Oliver Cromwell in people's minds, even after his death? Cromwell had died only 5 years earlier, in 1658; Charles II had only taken power in 1660.

@oliver_moran I like the sound of this mosquito statue. What would it be on? Bronze tree bark? A silvery window? The innocent little speckled-winged Friend of Erin perched there, polishing its face with its forepaws

Interesting how Cromwell has already faded into a curiosity item for visitors, just a few years after he held power. History can be fast.
(What the world needs to know about Oliver Cromwell and the Roamer: they both went to the same Cambridge college, sadly separated by a few centuries.)
Fergus Butler-Gallie (@_F_B_G_): "There’s a very worrying valorisation of Cromwell going on among the internet right. Honouring a regicide, an ethnic cleanser, a religious extremist, a campaigner against freedom, fun and joy is absolutely not the way to get ordinary people on side. 1660 happened for a reason." | nitter

There's a show on #ABC all about people playing public pianos. The first bloke plays Chopin's Polonaise in A flat major Op 53 at Sydney Central, and there was absolutely zero mention of Monty Python's #OliverCromwell cover.

Just when we think we're getting it, you go ahead and talk about English history! Sure, ruin my day and remind me that everything is an discomfiting mirror, anyway!

Moore's monster epic is worth every word and distorted bending of reality, from its angelic jokes to bizarre art shows. How much of history can it digest at once? More than I caught on a first read, for certain.

"To his Highness, #OliverCromwell
"To your Highness justly belongs the #Honour of #dying for the people, and it cannot choose but be unspeakable consolation to you in the last moments of your life to consider with how much benefit to the world you are like to leave it. 'Tis then only (my Lord) the titles you now usurp, will be truly yours; you will then be indeed the deliverer of your country, and free it from a bondage little inferior to that from which Moses delivered his. You will then be that true reformer which you would be thought. Religion shall be then restored, #liberty asserted and Parliaments have those privileges they have fought for. We shall then hope that other #laws will have place besides those of the sword, and that #justice shall be otherwise defined than the will and pleasure of the strongest; and we shall then hope men will keep oaths again, and not have the necessity of being false and perfidious to preserve themselves, and be like their rulers. All this we hope from your Highness's happy expiration, who are the true father of your country; for while you live we can call nothing ours, and it is from your death that we hope for our inheritances. Let this consideration arm and fortify your Highness's mind against the fears of death and the terrors of your evil conscience, that the good you will do by your death will something balance the evils of your life."
I posted a little while ago about removing the statue of Robert Clive from the vicinity of the Foreign Office in London.
Here's another statue that ought to be moved from its current location: the Oliver Cromwell statue outside the UK House of Commons. In replies to this post, I'll put forward four reasons for this proposal and suggest a replacement.

@michaelflanagan I'm always puzzled at the way the Americans are murmuring "You should *try* not to kill *too many* civilians". Kind of like standing beside #OliverCromwell in Ireland and muttering "Easy on the aul ge nocide, Ollie" #Gaza #US #FellowTravellers #Genocide
> Charles the First was the problem. Oliver Cromwell was the solution.

REPOST
#BBC Witness May 2 2023 talks about Oliver Cromwell who was in power between Charles I and Charles II
History is kinda brutal, listen to the 10min AUDIO.
In 1661 in England, following the restoration of the monarchy, the body of #OliverCromwell was dug up for ritual execution
(#KingCharlesIII looking back)

@tml I’ve never really cared much for #OliverCromwell until now. #KC3
Do the #PeasantsRevolt, #TolpuddleMartyrs, #OliverCromwell or #SlaveTrade get a mention? 😂
Here's a #postcard of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge
One of Sidney Sussex's most famous/infamous alumni (you choose!) is Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth.
Today is the 274th anniversary of the execution of King Charles I

As always I am amused by the great irony of Ireland's official most evil Englishman ever being the only one who successfully led a republican British regime. #OliverCromwell
