He banned Christmas and committed genocide.
>He banned Christmas
...huh.
He resettled Jews in Britain, either because he thought they'd help him compete economically with the Dutch, or because he wanted to convert them.
A bigoted and laughably hypocritical military dictator who somehow commemorated as a champion of parliamentary democracy
>it's intolerable that charles dissolved parliament for disagreeing with him
>i'm going to fight a war and commit regicide in the name of parliamentary sovereignty
>now charles is out of the way i'm free to dissolve parliament for disagreeing with me
He and like 40 of his friends got together and decided the king was meanie head and needed to be killed. So they killed the king, and then Oliver got to be king.
He was awful and a traitor and I'm ashamed that my house fought for him.
He was right on the former and wrong on the latter.
>my house
Uh huh.
