Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protecteur of England
PURITAN
Born in 1599 and died in 1658SEPTEMBER
Was at first
ONLYMP for Huntingdon
BUT THEN
He led the Ironside Cavalry at Marston Moorin 1644 and won.
Then he founded the new model model army
And praise be, beat the Cavaliers at Naisby
And the King fled up North like a bat to the
Scots. SPOKEN: BUT UNDER THE TERMS OF JOHN PIMM'S SOLEMNLEAGUE AND COVENANT, THE SCOTS HANDED KINGCHARLES I OVER TO...
Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protecteur of England
AND HIS WARTS
Born in 1599 and died in 1658SEPTEMBER
But alas
OY VAY!
Disagreement then broke out
BETWEEN
The Presbyterian Parliament and the Militarywho meant
To have an independent bent.
And so...
The 2nd Civil War broke out
And the Roundhead ranks
Faced the Cavaliers at Preston Banks
And the King lost again, silly thing
STUPID GIT SPOKEN: AND CROMWELL SEND COLONEL PRIDE TO PURGE THEHOUSE OF COMMONS OF THE PRESBYTERIAN ROYALISTSLEAVING BEHIND ONLY THE RUMP PARLIAMENT...
Which appointed a High Court at Westminster
Hall
To indict Charles I for...tyranny
OOOOHHH!
Charles was sentenced to death
Even though he refused to accept that the courthad...jurisdiction
SAY GOODBYE TO HIS HEAD
Poor King Charles laid his head on the block
JANUARY 1649
Down came the axe, and... SPOKEN: IN THE SILENCE THAT FOLLOWED, THE ONLY SOUNDTHAT COULD BE HEARD WAS A SOLITARY GIGGLE,FROM...
Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protecteur of England
OLE
Born in 1599 and died in 1658SEPTEMBER
Then he smashed
IRELAND
Set up the Commonwealth
AND MORE
He crushed the Scots at Worcester
And beat the Dutch at sea
In 1653 and then
He dissolved the Rump Parliament
And with Lambert's consent
Wrote the instrument of Government
Under which Oliver was Proctector at last
The end.
