Oliver Cromwell stacked parliament with people he could influence and intimidated those who did not support him into staying away. The parliament was meeting to decide whether or not to execute Charles 1 of England. They decided to do so.
I read somewhere that the parliament of the day, which supported Cromwell, included 21 of his own relatives. Unfortunately I cannot locate the reference.
