Oliver Cromwell was an English military and political leader who played a key role during the English Civil War and later became the Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1653 until his death in 1658. He was a member of the Puritan faction, which sought to purify the Church of England of its remaining Catholic practices. Puritans believed in a strict interpretation of The Bible, personal piety, and a covenant relationship with God, emphasizing moral living and the importance of individual faith over institutional rituals. Their beliefs significantly influenced the development of Protestantism and shaped the political landscape of 17th-century England.
