Oliver Cromwell
Description
Parliamentarian, Puritan soldier, treasonous regicide, Lord Protector of England: Oliver Cromwell was all of these things, and this program scrutinizes his eventful life against the turbulent backdrop of 17th-century English political unrest. After the victory of his unstoppable Ironsides at Marston Moor and the decisive defeat of Royalist forces at Naseby by his New Model Army, Cromwell's forces deposed Charles I, defeated the Irish and Scots, and, in 1653, established a short-lived military protectorate. This program, featuring commentary by Dr. Les Prince of Birmingham University, England, examines the tumultuous times of Oliver Cromwell and history's ultimate verdict. Was he a hero or a villain-or both?
