Oliver Cromwell harbored strong anti-Catholic sentiments, viewing Catholicism as a threat to Protestantism and English society. He believed in the necessity of limiting the power of the monarchy, leading to his opposition to King Charles I, whom he eventually helped execute. Cromwell's relationships with fellow members of Parliament were often contentious; he clashed with those who opposed his Puritan ideals and authoritarian leadership style, believing that dissent threatened the stability and moral integrity of the nation. Ultimately, his approach was characterized by a mix of religious fervor and a commitment to his vision of governance.

What did Oliver Cromwell do to the Rump Parliament and when and why did he do what he did?

Oliver Cromwell stacked parliament with people he could influence and intimidated those who did not support him into staying away. The parliament was meeting to decide whether or not to execute Charles 1 of England. They decided to do so. I read somewhere that the parliament of the day, which supported Cromwell, included 21 of his own relatives. Unfortunately I cannot locate the reference.


What did cavaliers do?

The cavaliers were against the roundheads in the civil war that was in the 1640's. The cavaliers were on King Charles I's side whilst the roundheads were on Oliver Cromwell and the parliament's side. Cromwell disagreed with all of the King's decisions and that is how the war started. Eventually, the King's head was chopped off and the executer was left un-known. In case you haven't already realised the roundheads won. Parliament was in charge of the country but not long after another King came along. Hope this was useful!
