∙ 11y agohis head was sewn back onto his body so his family could say a proper goodbye, as ridiculous as that sounds it's true. Then Oliver Cromwell came into power and Britain was a republic for a while and run by parliament however Oliver Cromwell was a dictator so it wasn't that democratic. Oliver Cromwell was a strict puritan and so in his time in power Christmas, going to church on a holy day, wearing makeup and many other stupid things were banned. Once Oliver Cromwell died, Charles the 1st son (Charles the 2nd) came into power and the monarchy was reintroduced to Britain. Charles was a catholic and he was very different to Cromwell. He enjoyed partying and and sleeping with many women and enjoyed an extravagant life style.

What happened in England between 1642 and 1660?
We had the Civil War between the forces of King Charles I (cavaliers) and parliament (roundheads), which determined the death of an absolute monarchy; one in which the King has total authority. Eventually, the Parliament forces prevailed and deposed the King, beheading him in 1649. From then on, England was a republic, under the authority of Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell. His successor was not of the same calibre, and in 1660 the monarchy was restored under Charles I's son Charles II - with a much reduced authority, and answerability to Parliament.
Who was beheaded in 1649?
This was King Charles 1st, following the English Civil War in which his Royalist forces fought against the Parliamentarian troops of Oliver Cromwell. It should be stressed that Cromwell did not WANT to execute the King, merely to get him to agree to change from being an Absolute to a Constitutional monarch, with Parliament having the right of veto over his decisions and there being an end to the notion of 'the Divine Right of Kings' (a belief that was seriously held by English sovereigns up until then, that they had been specially appointed by God to rule their land). But King Charles would have none of it- had he just disagreed but put up no resistance to changing the British system of Government, he would probably have just gone into exile or been placed under house-arrest, but instead he kept escaping from prison to continue acting as Commander-in-Chief to his army. In the end, the frustrated Cromwell felt that executing him was the only option left available. The King's death brought the war to an end, although there was a rebellion in 1651 at the Battle of Worcester, when Charles II's younger brother Prince Rupert attempted to lead an insurgency against Cromwell's rule. This, however, was also defeated.
