Puritan Rule under Cromwell
The execution of Charles I in 1649 began a decade of constitutional experiment, during which the three kingdoms were in full political union and Ireland was radically altered by land confiscation. Scotland continued to fight until General Monck took charge; he was to prove a man of destiny. The Long Parliament was closed down by Oliver Cromwell, who was installed as Lord Protector. The army was powerful; yet in 1660, Charles I’s son was restored as king. This book shows who gained power, why they failed, how the constitution was revised and why the monarchy was reinstated.
