Oliver Cromwell is considered avillain in England for a few reasons. First of all, he committed regicide, or to put it simply, he beheaded King Charles I. Many people didn't like King Charles I at the time, but they didn't want to see him put to death. Another reason is because he demolished the monarchy Thirdly, he created a new government and appointed himself as the leader (the protectorate and the lord protector, respectively) and eventually became a tyrant in the process. He banned drinking, gambling and dancing, swearing, Christmas, work on sundays, sport on sundays, (which was what a normal person during the time participated in during down time.) All together, these acts were enough to make the Britian's grit their teeth.
