If it's Oliver Cromwell then he fought king Charles I. Charles thought he could rule England by himself and believed in the Divine right of kings which means that he thought he was chosen by god to be king. after a few years of ruling without Parliament he was running out of money and asked Parliament to come back of coarse Parliament wasn't really happy. Charles was also a catholic he said he was a protestant but acted like a catholic and since England was a protestant country civil war was just waiting to happen. war was fought against the Cavaliers (Royalists) and the Round Heads (Parliament). Oliver Cromwell became in charge after a while and he was a puritan a super strict protestant and that was when Charles was really in trouble because before Oliver Cromwell was in charge if Parliament they would have probably banished him but of coarse Cromwell had him beheaded. Of coarse when he died England was so fed up with the rules of the puritans they wanted a king back so Charles II came to the throne in the restoration and he was known as the Merry Monarch. Hope this helped.
