Oliver Cromwell was a Parliamentarian that disagreed with King Charles I not giving power to Parliament to make just and fair laws. King Charles believed he was an absolute monarch and a Divine Right Ruler - receiving his power to rule from God and had the right to allow Parliament to meet or send it home. The disagreement between the Crown and Parliament, and King Charles willingness to let Catholicism back into England, even though English law forbade it, led to a civil war between the King and Parliament. The King's army, the Cavaliers were well trained and armed. The army of Parliament were young lads and farmers and not so well trained. The Roundheads were no match for the Cavaliers. As a result of the Roundheads being routed, Cromwell formed and trained his own army - The New Model Army. The New Model Army defeated the Cavaliers, and King Charles was eventually beheaded by sword. Cromwell tried to get Parliament to rule justly and fairly, but was unsuccessful. He became dictator (Lord Protector) of England for several years until a new Parliament was in place that made fair and just laws for English citizens to live by.
