Oliver Cromwell was the commander of Parliamentarian forces at Drogheda.
Was cromwell breacking the law when he attacked drogheda?
The question of whether or not Cromwell was breaking the law when he attacked Drogheda is difficult to answer. Cromwell was a rebel who had overthrown the Monarchy. He had illegally seized the government of England. He had also illegally seized the government of the Pale of Ireland which included Drogheda. Still, he controlled the lawful government of that area at the time. Arthur Ashton, the leader of the Irish rebels at Drogheda, refused to recognize Cromwell as the lawful ruler. He sided with those wanting to restore the monarchy to Ireland. He decided to fight to the death rather than recognize Cromwell. Cromwell had broken the law when he killed King Charles I and seized power. Ashton broke the law when he rebelled against the ruler, Cromwell, to reinstate the monarchy. Who is guilty in war?
Should oliver cromwell have treated the rebels so harshly?
No
