Well, some people thought that he was a villian because of the huge massacre in Drogheda but some people find him a hero because he won the English Civil War and he set up the new model army.

Oliver Cromwell was leader of the Commonwealth not the king. He worked as the head of parliament who had a very big say in running the country. He was the first leader of the country who had no royal blood. He was the only parliamentarian who did not want to execute James 1, however he still signed his death warrant.

Oliver Cromwell was born on 25 April 1599 in Huntington, Cambridgeshire. He was Educated at Huntington grammar school and then he studied law in Sydney Sussex College, Cambridge. In August 1620, Cromwell married Elizabeth Bourchier, daughter of Sir James Bourchier, a London merchant. Their marriage stayed good and stable and they had 9 children (Robert, Oliver, Bridget, Richard, Henry, Elizabeth, James, Mary and Frances).

Well first his son Richard Cromwell, in 1658, but he resigned in 1659, as he was an ineffective ruler, so he was replaced in 1660 by Charles Stuart, A.K.A, King Charls II.

Oliver Cromwell (1599 - 1658) was an English soldier and statesman who helped make England a republic and then ruled as lord protector from 1653 to 1658. He executed King James I.

His son Richard was named as his successor and was lord protector of England for 8 months. However, he was not a charismatic leader like his father and he could not reconcile the various political, military and religious factions of his day and soon lost the support of the army on which his power depended.

Parliament therefore asked King James' son to return to England as the monarch.

the winning leader of the English civilwar

Oliver Cromwell was the leader of the forces opposing King Charles. Those forces were referred to colloquially as the Roundheads. His title after the king was deposed was Lord Protector. Oliver Cromwell was an MP for Huntingdon in the 1600's and was a puritan, believing that the Roman Catholic church itself was a vehicle for evil. Oliver Cromwell led the parliamentary forces against King Charles in the English Civil war and Oliver Cromwell ruled England as 'Lord Protector' (dictator) after the trial and execution of the King.

Oliver Cromwell took control of England's government and placed himself as Lord Protector of England after the monarchy was abolished. However, citizens were frustrated by continuing instability in England. Many citizens also disliked Cromwell's Puritan ideas. Even though Cromwell had the support of the military, his son could not gain the people's favor after Cromwell died. England restored the monarchy and offered the throne to Charles II.

Cromwell lost patience with the Rump Parliament. The army wanted more influence and to be paid. When the Rumps refused to hold an election unless they could be guaranteed their seats, Cromwell marched in with a troop of soldiers and drove the members out. He then locked the doors of Parliament and put the key in his pocket.

Because he was a fundamentalist Christian. Such people exist today, they think their interpretation of the bible is the only one that is correct. They are too foolish to realise that there are many interpretations possible and all of them are wrong.
