Oliver Cromwell was a completely different monarch to the one's preceding him as he was the first person to establish a Republic in England after the execution of the King.


Since Magna Carta, British Monarchs had been trying to rein down the power of the lords and the parliament.

After the execution of the King, Oliver was establish a republic with the power held within the Parliament, greatly decreasing the power of subsequent royal families.
