Oliver Cromwell.
It was Charles I
Yes, Oliver Cromwell was a prominent leader of the Puritans during the Commonwealth period in England. He played a key role in the English Civil War, leading the Parliamentarian forces against the Royalists. After the execution of King Charles I in 1649, Cromwell became the Lord Protector of the Commonwealth, governing England from 1653 until his death in 1658. His leadership was characterized by a strong Puritan moral code and a focus on establishing a republican form of government.
The Puritan leaders in Parliament had the king arrested, brought to trial and beheaded in 1649 which ended the English Civil War.
Perhaps the first overthrowing of a monarch was in England. Charles I of England was beheaded by his own people during the English Civil War.
