[[Image:Oliver_Cromwell.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Oliver Cromwell by Sir Peter Lely c.1653]]
'''Oliver Cromwell''' lived from April 25, [[1599 ]]to September 3, [[1658]]. He was an English soldier and statesman who led parliamentary forces in the [[English Civil War]]s and ruled as [[dictator]] under the title [[Lord Protector]]. To this day Cromwell is remembered by many in [[England]], but hated by others. The [[Ireland|Irish]], which suffered from his brutality in Ireland, vilify Cromwell. Royalists, or those who love the English monarchy, also hated Cromwell and even dug up his corpse to behead him once the monarchy regained power.
