That man was a maniac. He did everything and anything. Basically, he started the Reign of Terror, which killed any royalists. He also killed those who didn't support the change [of his party] enough, and those who were overzealous about it. There were two reigns of terror, the white terror and the red terror -one was Robespierre's doing, the other was around the time of his death, when the terrorists and the victims switched roles.

How do Victorians view Cromwell?

During most of the 1800s with the reign of Queen Victoria, Cromwell was known as very much a hero of English history. The Victorians were mainly devout Catholics and because Cromwell also had a strong Catholic faith he was a hero to them. He had tried to make England a Catholic country and enforced many laws to encourage this. He even declined the offer of being king, not wanting to rule but to just try and be a good MP and make everyone Catholic like him, so he instead assumed the role of lord protector of England. Victorians respected him for this and having a strong Catholic faith themselves, thought him a hero.
