Then you completely fail to understand who Cromwell was. While his advancement was fortuitous, he was hardly random by the end of the civil war.

To be a proper historian you need to be full of piss and vinegar so you can take it all, and not squeam when you read what was done to the Jews, Catholics and Armenians.
The Stuart Age, England 1603-1714 by Barry Coward is the indepth study on Stuart history
Angela Anderson Stuart Britain is the overview book for a quick skim
Revolutions in early modern Europe is a proper school textbook so less informational as it wants you to pass the history exam not know history.
Certainly reccomend Barry Coward as he died whilst working on the 4th edition, but judging from your grammar Angela Anderson is more your thing.
But also try to find copies of David Starkey 'Monarchy' on the Stuart era, as he is hands down the best historian for documentaries
Robert Morgan
That term "puritan" was their political ideology (to purify the church), but their Reformed theology was Calvanist and of Zwingli

Yes Americans, England did have its own civil war back in the 1600s.
