Did Oliver Cromwell named him self lord protector and banned drinking dancing and gambling after he got jumped on his way home from clubbing with the sisters?
Not a question, more a statement of the fact that you know nothing about who Oliver Cromwell was. Firstly he lived 1599-1658 making your scenario unlikely. He also had a great impact on the history of Ireland, England and Scotland. Not much of it good as far as Ireland and Scotland were concerned but still is a important part of history all the same. A simple Internet search of his name will give you all the information on him you could ever want as there is two much to fit in this. In short though to answer your question NO Oliver Cromwell did not name him self lord protector and banned drinking dancing and gambling after he got jumped on his way home from clubbing with the sisters.
