Prince Rupert of the Rhine, a royalist commander during the English Civil War, attempted to kill Oliver Cromwell due to their opposing loyalties and the intense conflict between royalists and parliamentarians. Following the defeat of royalist forces, Rupert sought revenge against Cromwell, who had become a leading figure for the parliamentarians. Their rivalry symbolized the broader struggle for power in England, with Cromwell representing the new parliamentary authority that threatened the monarchy. Ultimately, Rupert's actions were driven by a desire to restore the royalist cause and eliminate a key adversary.
