The king belived in the devine right of kings, and that meant autocracy.... Not such a goot thing.. The people were denide a say in their own affairs, and the rest is history.
Cromwell’s Head

One thing never told to you in history at school is that Oliver Cromwell’s head led a ‘life’ after its body was dead. Cromwell died on 3 September 1658, of an infection caused by a stone in the bladder and was already buried by the time a state funeral was staged in his honour two months later. The Royalists were still seeking revenge for the killing of King Charles-I, and, by order of the Parliament in January AD-1661, Cromwell’s body and those of is two closest henchmen were exhumed. Two of the corpses (the other had rotted away) were taken to the gibbet at Tyburn - on the site of the modern day Marble Arch in London - and hung from the gallows for a day. The bodies were then beheaded and the heads stuck on iron poles outside Westminster Hall. The story goes that they stayed there until about 1684 when a fierce gale finally dislodged Cromwell’s head which landed at a sentry’s feet. He wrapped it in his cloak and took it home where he hid it in a chimney for the rest of his life, only revealing its existence to his family on his deathbed. The head subsequently passed through the hands of many individuals and was widely exhibited as a curiosity. A thorough scientific examination was carried out on the head in the 1930’s by two cranial detectives, who became convinced of its authenticity. There was even a brown spot on the parchment-like skin, corresponding to Cromwell’s distinctive wart. The head was finally laid to rest on 25 March 1960 in the ante chapel of Sydney Sussex College in Cambridge, where Cromwell had been a student. It was buried in an oak box with a red silk lining.

Answer 2

Kings were thought to have descended from Christ or have been designated by God to rule over everyone else in thier country; but this notion was starting to be reconsidered at the time of Cromwell, just as other ideas about the nature of God and the way to worship were.

King Charles did not feel that he was responsible to anyone but himself; he was unwilling or unable to give up any of his power; he dismissed Parliment (of which Cromwell was a member). This would be like George Bush sending home all the members of Congress! Thus Cromwell felt that for the benefit of himself and his countrymen, the king had to be set aside. This was a forerunner of the concept of democracy and the idea that people could rule themselves instead of having kings.

Human nature being what it is, Cromwell just replaced the king with himself; it turned out he was no better at ruling and in many ways the common people suffered more under Cromwell's rule than Charles' reign.

Answer 3

Because Charles I thought he was above the law and spent the taxes of the nation upon his personal pleasures.

Answer 4

I think its because he wanted to climb up in the government. battle after battle, doesn't he get a rank raise after that?

Oh, and by the way, Edward Cullen rocks! I like Twilight the best, though.
