Cromwell was an interesting fellow. Interesting in that sort of egotistical, messianic, I shall now devolve into what I said I hated sort of way. Sometimes representative governments won't do what you want? The hell you say.

His son Richard seemed nice, though.

There's a really good documentary on YouTube about the Stuart dynasty as seen through the fortunes of the Wynn family. Long, but interesting.
