Between 1649 and 1658 Cromwell had more power than anyone

else in Britain. In 1649 he took the New Model Army to Ireland.

During the English Civil War Cromwell had heard terrible stories

from Protestants in Ireland. He heard that Catholics committed

horrible cruelties such as cutting off people's hands and feet and

beating women's brains with poles. There were many such stories.
