Today,i.e 30th Jan in the year 1661, Oliver Cromwell was ritually executed on the anniversary of the monarch he had deposed. He had died 2 years earlier.
Now you might be thinking who is Oliver Cromwell, For starters lemme tell you that the impact Cromwell has had on British history no one ever had. He is the only man who disrupted the monarchy rule in England and Britain since its inception. Cromwell challenged the hegemony of royal superiority,overseeing the shot lived but hugely significant Commonwealth of England,Scotland and Ireland.
The Commonwealth came into being on 19 May 1649 following the English Civil war and execution of Charles 1. It consisted of House of Commons following the purge of royalist members in Dec 1648.
Following the establishment of the new regime,Cromwell spent most of his time away from the parliamentary affairs, heading to the military campaigns in Ireland. Upon returning to London, Cromwell stormed into the parliament with 40 men to stop the malfunctioning of the Rump Parliament and demanded its dissolution... However Cromwell's death followed the crumbling of Commonwealth. Though it was short lived, he was one of the major person in the history of Britain
