Oliver Cromwell

[FUMIN988]

Cromwell was evil he was also a religious extreamest, that being said i have no idea whats said in this video as your accent made me want to gouge out my own eyes with a rusty screw driver so i was forced to stop it 5 seconds in......Poor Job....Poor Job....

[holdrich]

On another note...were you aware that Oliver Cromwell was hanged AND beheaded two years after he had already died?!?! I guess someone just wanted to make sure he was properly punished for his "crime" against the Royal Family...

[holdrich]

@holdrich Quick correction. Oliver Cromwell was actually hanged and then quartered (not beheaded...). Again, someone wanted to make sure he was properly punished...

[IBETHISNAMEISTAKEN]

CROMWELL!!1



[farscapeone]

usual bunch of anti English rhetoric and professional chip on the shoulder irish merchants blaming Cromwell for thier shit lives!

[bollockchops55]

a great man

[Farfrae1]

One of England's heros that no English child should ever forget..fuck the rest of you!

[Baker413RF]

cromwell is a horrible person and you are too

[Robyn2186]

lord protector of england gods executioner the lords englishman regiside.dwell on this while your waiting for the bus in the rain .he was a god

[Scoob505]

Why do you have a picture of Napoleon towards the end?:????????

[Scoob505]

Sins as sick as sin.

[Bevelle3]

Cromwell himself, in his own letters, admitted that he ordered his troops to refuse quarter to all under arms in Drogheda. But not civilians.

However, it's naive to suppose that any army in the heat of battle could distinguish between combatants and non-combatants. In an appendix to his letter to parliment, detailing the numbers dead, Cromwell claims all the defenders plus 'many more inhabitants' were killed. Even if he didn't order it, civilians were killed as a consequence of his policy.

[cecilepop]

cromwell promised his army land in as pay. so ireland was invaded, and to this day they still not PEACE in north of ireland. Before you start talking shite get you fucking facts right. ur an ignorant shit who badly needs a lession in history. Wars are very rarely fought for peace. Wars are fought for power and cause some people like cromwell and hitler are just pure evil. Only dif between cromwell and hitler is that hitler was on a bigger scale. Hope you like hell cromwell you evil bastard

[Oliver1649]

cecilepop,

When you're finished with the foul language, petty name-calling, and unsubstantiated claims, why not give a direct answer to a direct question?

Can you name one eye witness source that claims Cromwell ordered the death of non-combatants?

Let's have some facts my friend, if you have any.

Chuckle.

[maureenOWW]

'cromwell and hitler are just pure evil'. Cromwell...'pure evil'? What do you know that no historian in history has known? This is a man who after becoming the defacto leader of most of the british isles, with the most modern and powereful army in europe, instead of making himself king decided to go back to his farm and breed pigs.

For six years.

Not EXACTLY the same sort of thing Hitler would do, is it?

[cecilepop]

''to hell or to conught''..........Who is the one in hell now Olly..... Hope its hot enough you murdering bastard

[Oliver1649]

cecilepop,

Name one eye witness source that claims he ordered the death of non-combatants.

Cromwell was simply better than the Irish and defeated them in battle.

What's really funny is that people like you still can't get over it.

I suggest you move on my friend.

Chuckle....

[54spiritedwill54]

lol i love it im taking AP euro this year and now i know about cromwell

[Cally200233]

Burn in hell Cromwell, murdering prick.

[HeatProtection]

i bet the person who made this vid is having a laugh at all these comments ^_^

[evilplasticduck]

oh yes. please don't ever stop you guys.

[skegy]

As an Englishman my hero is Cromwell he ripped the "guts" out of power mad psychopathic murderers. As with all revolutions it can make things worse for the people.

You lot capitulate to Nazi Europe so fuck off spineless twats. When the New World Order fails we will see a lot of heads on spikes labeled TRAITOR. I will be there to piss on your graves.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

I see, so what you are saying is that you voted for Ken Livingstone?

[m4rkg1]

BRUTUALTRUTH, nice job calling him a retard when you, yourself can't spell Brutal.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

That is called irony. You know irony? When you were born the midwife said "now that is ironical!" M4rkg1, please use capitals, and like your mental condition..........small case! I see your postings - skateboarding skunk are we?

[m4rkg1]

Use capitals? What mid sentence? Yeah that makes perfect sense. This: "like your mental condition..........small case!" makes absolutely no sense, at all. I actually went on wikipedia and looked up mental cases to see if what inane bollocks you said had any logic in the real world. Also, you "see my postings" eh? Too bad I've never posted a video on youtube and I'm sure you're a smart enough guy to realise that putting in my name into the seach'll come up with nothing.

[deathbringer1989]

hes not that smart hes a right thicko.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Deathbringer, or, Braindeadringer, you should have wrote "it's" and not "its" and "he's" and not "hes"! You are to literacy what Normal Bates is to Mother's Day! You, a student? My ribs hurt so much from laughing! By the way, I know you are gay friendly, but don't come onto m4rkg1 or whatever the Skanky Skunk calls himself!

[deathbringer1989]

oh so your laughing at your stupidity as much as i am then... u dumb fuck.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

How many times,Deadbrainbringer,do I need to remind you to use correct written English? You are so uneducated,it's just too painful to read your drunk ramblings. Did you go to school or were you hidden from sight from normal people the minute you were born? I suspect the latter,but one day you had to released onto the public........to admire Oliver Cromwell. You do realize that Cromwell he was a Puritan and would have regarded you as scum? Then again we all do! I must pray for you, poor child.

[deathbringer1989]

yeah cromwell was puritan but it could have been worst, he could have been cathlic. but why wud he regard me as scum?? yet again you say something that is total bullshit.you have no facts to back up your opinions, your bumbass opinions you stupid fucktard. your just a lonely old man with no life and no friends.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Your spelling is so bad! Le's talk in your family language - "Dis Cromwell is bad innit?" A year of studying Cromwell and gay porn and still you can't write properly! So sad, the you are only 18 and still in a gay phase! I know where you live and the wesbsites you visit. Utterly sick pervert! Will have to report you - danger to childern you are! The abused becomes a repeat abuser! You sad soul! " You is understanding dis langauage, chav?"

[deathbringer1989]

You, stupid old fart. Clearly you have no idea what a Chav is. So, you criticise my English, but don't bother to check your own. 'The you are', you sure you don't mean, 'that you are'? Not to mention, 'will have to' sure that's not meant to read, 'I will have to'?

I seriously hope you've got evidence to back up that accusation, I'm sure you wouldn't want to get sued for liable.

Have a nice day, Mr. Retard. :p

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

And still, you cannot spell, despite your protestations of being intelligent! You really are a sad little rent boy! Then again, your parents are probably Wayne and Waynetta Slob! Get a woman, get a job and most importantly get a wash, you smelly little ignorant turd. The more you watch gay porn the more morose you became! Get a dictionary, not a Dickionary. You make me laugh so much which is sad, as it is not intentional! You haven't denied being gay or molested! How telling!

[deathbringer1989]

Please, explain what I spelt wrong in my last comment? Maybe you should start taking your own advise before you lecture me. Your clearly a retard. Stop sleeping with your sister and pretending your intelligent, because quite frankly your not fooling anyone, you thick piece of shit!

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Well Dumbdeathringer, I am glad you stopped oral sex on your pervert father and had time to engage in non-incest activity. It is so dis-heartening to listen to the rambles of a Chav who admires Cromwell as an English hero and yet shows contempt for English written grammar. Your latest writings are getting less erroneous, so you are taking my advice on attempting to write in a near normal fashion although you are plainly illiterate. Who has been half-attempting to help you? Stop sucking daddy!

[deathbringer1989]

Usually I might be offended by such remarks, but seeing as I know everything you say is bullshit, I'm not. So far, everything you have said to me is wrong. Therefore, by making me out to be thick you are in turn, unintentionally calling me intelligent; which, quite frankly, I am. Also, you keep slating my English grammar; maybe you should check your own first, because it's pretty shit. Now go back to shagging your dog because I am bored of your bullshit, it's starting to smell.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

You keep replying every time and it winds you up! You are so gullible! I win every time. Get a woman and get the gayness out of you! By the way, no denial of being a gay with your father? Now very telling! I pray for you and your spelling :)

[skegy]

What we got here oh another state droid obsessed with queers. Fuck of go and read the Sun. Fucking idiot.

NEXT

[deathbringer1989]

You see, total bullshit. 'I win every time' is that your attempt at a joke?

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Well, firstly, you tell me to stop shagging a dog, but I don't even know your mother? You write messages in awful English and now it's improved! See, I shamed you so much you have to get help with the grammar. Still no denials that your are a gay indulging in incest! You are such a sick individual. An abused gay boy that had a fixation with Crowmell a mass abuser! Get a woman and get the bitchiness out of you - for your own good!

[skegy]

Thank fuck for that, brain dead state droid. Fucking ignorant twat. Fuck off.

Or should say educated moron.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

A dirty old man siding with a vulnerable young gay man! Totally disgusting and sick! You Grooming Guardian filth merchant!

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

You sad geek m3rkg1! I deliberately wrote that you made postings to get a reaction from you and like a dumbfuck ,you took the bait! Ha ha! You silly irrelevant, unimportant, inconsequential, uneducated piece of human waste. Instead of Wikipedia do some real research like getting a job and paying your way in the world. Skanky skunk!

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Cromwell is a kind of English Bin Laden!

[deathbringer1989]

wtf are u talkin about... cromwell was one of the greatest leaders englands ever had. hes up there with the best, king richard, queen elizabeth, king alfred, churchill etc... he set the foundations for the british empire, the larges empire to have ever existed... how can u compair him to a coward who hides in mountains and kills ppl just becouse they have a different religious belief, at least cromwell fought for peace. u shud try learning ur history b4 makin a dumbass coment like that u fool

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Deathbringer,before you reply, you should learn English grammar you retard! Cromwell cut off the King's head, then acted like a King. He dissolved Parliament just like Charles I. However, he ordered the murder of thousand of English and Irish - Charles I did not. If he is so great, how comes not many Parliamentarians do not even praise him. READ your history instead of watching gay videos. I know who you are and where you live gayboy!

[deathbringer1989]

haha I'm sure u do retard, but it's the only thing u do know... freedom isn't free its paid for in blood, it's not nice it's not pleasant but it's true. Cromwell did what was necessary to bring peace to England and its closest neighbours. I'm well aware of what Cromwell did I've spent the past 12month studying him. He was a tactical genius and a superb leader. You're just a naive Muppet who thinks everything is as simple as good and evil. Grow up!!!

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Oh yeah ,where did you read about Cromwell then? In the Janet and John Goes Civil War book? All your facts are wrong, and for someone who is studying Cromwell for over a year - well you want to get out more sonny boy, instead of jerking over gay movies and reading up on Cromwell, you sad fuck! There are Roundheads and then there's you: a Dickhead with a Cavalier attitude! You ignorant sad stupid uninformed historically backward inner looking simpleton! We all pray for you; that you get a brain!

[deathbringer1989]

my facts are wrong?? ha u dumb fuck, clearly u really do know fuck all. u stupid narrow minded simpleton. u have no facts to back up ur stupid opinion which ur too arragant to realise is wrong.u fucking retard

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

A retard eh? Don't confuse your parents with me! Throughout Europe there were struggles with Monarchs and the people. You sad piece of shit, one year learning about that spotty fucker Crowmwell and thinking that this piece of shit was the founder of democracy. You sad piece of thick uninformed idiotic billy-no mates masturbator of gay movies. Get out,get a lif, get a woman you pathetic unimportant waste of space. Stop sleeping with your daddy! By the way -LEARN ENGLISH!

[deathbringer1989]

what a surprise, yet again you resort to name calling, whats wrong realised your not as smart as you originaly thought? your knowledge on history is about as historically correct as braveheart. now go away and in future think before you make some dumb arse comment about something you know nothing about...

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

So, you studied Cromwell for a year, eh? Well, obviously this was not at university as your grammar was left behind in kindergarten! Learn something more important, like medicine, physics and not something difficult that is way beyond you(ie: English literature). What next for you? A year studying Robert Mugabe or knowing you Big Brother tv series). Do not message here as you are too embarrassing and really show your stupid self up! Use capital letters and like your brain a FULL STOP!

[deathbringer1989]

hahahahahahahahahaha you spanner. talking of big brother, maybe you should sign up. you'd fit in great with the rest of the narrow minded, failures who find themselve in big brother.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Oh no , not you again. Get back to your bedroom and close the curtains and live in your fantasy world of Oliver Cromwell. Sad little man. The student who can't study!

[deathbringer1989]

rofl and what does that make u a dumb lonely fuck wih no friends, no brain and no point in existing, do us all a favour and climb back up your mothers pussy. i know exactly what cromwell did and his reasons for doing it,unlike u, u thick piece of shit, theres enough bullshiters in the world without u making out u know anything about anything!!!!

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Well these comments show your utter lack of education! Vulgar sexual innuendo from a semi-literate who spent a year studying his hero, a genocidal maniac! As I say, stop watching gay videos even though your father abused you - you have all the traits of an abuse sufferer! Why else admire a homicidal maniac? Did you know your mother, or did she leave and left your abusing daddy to breast feed you?

[deathbringer1989]

a homicidal maniac?? a genocide maniac?? who you on about?? you?? so not only are u totaly uneduacted in anything, ur also a maniac. well it explains a lot. oh and cromwell aint my hero i just hate people who make dumb arse comments bout things they dnt understand, like u did. now lionheart hes my hero.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Not as dumb as your spelling Billy-No-Mates! You are such a joke, sorry,but I can't take you seriously at all! You are a unintentional clown. Amazingly funny, if not sad :(

[cecilepop]

crowell fought for peace.......ha ha ha........that is the best joke i have ever heard.

[deathbringer1989]

Apparently, youre too naive to understand peace. It comes from war. The reason wars are fought is for peace.

[blunklaura]

got the song stuck in my head!!!

lol

hurrah to monty python

[kaywells89]

what was the song after "and there was much rejoicing"?

(nice way to keep w/ the python theme by using that line btw)

[sivakasi626124]

Aahhh we were going to use the song too for our project!!!

FIVE STARS FTW.

[justsmile4me]

Good video.

Isn't that the Coronation of Napoleon at the end?

[monik1976]

q video para mas idiota!

mira q bajo has caido Inglaterra!

hacer escarnio de quien deberian agradecer su democracia...ya quisieran España y Francia haber tenido un hombre asi...pero nadie es profeta en su tierra.

[joca1515]

lol i love it im taking AP euro this year and now i know about cromwell lol

[artstudent07]

WTF!!!!!

[BillDFC]

King Charles 1 was born in Dunfermline,Fife.

[ramesses88]

I live in Preston, Lancashire and well, there is nothing in remembrance of him apart from a suburban road and a large patch of grass where travelling folk used to park their caravans (it's a slight mound and is an historic battle site...though you really couldn't tell, there's no plaque or anything).

Ahhhh, one of my favourite villians :P

Only second to the tyrant vandal king of Henry VIII (forgive my opinionated bias)

[ramesses88]

Very good though, the Oliver Cromwell song is a tad bit awkward for me.

I play a lot of Chopin and have never got round to playing the Heroique for the very reason that I'm mentally singing the Oliver Cromwell song :P

[MacTire06]

"More of a butcher than a king in England,

born of obscure rank will gain empire through force.

Coward without faith, without law he will bleed the land;

His time approaches so close that I sigh."

[Robbiewhite1942]

Cromwell is amazing. He owned up the Royalists.

[LocaDeAmor]

gabbysaulsbery --- sounds familiar

i can't believe that other people from different areas are doing the same thing at the same timeh hhahaha

[evilplasticduck]

yeah well you're all being well served here... believe it or not, this kind of insane filmmaking got me a 5 on the test... see, learning CAN be fun!

[willyrobinson]

One thing you left out was after the Restoration of the Monarchy there was this big event 1687-88 'Glorious Revolution' which made Britain Protestant from then onwards with William of Orange.

[evilplasticduck]

yeah but the focus was cromwell... that was 20 yrs after his death. we couldn't go on too long.

[gabbysaulsbery]

tomorrow is the big euro test. i'm watching all the youtube videos i can so i pass. thanks for teaching me about oc cause i was asleep when my teacher talked about him:)

[starspirals]

I'm writing the AP European History tomorrow!

[Chedrew]

oliver cromwell was u cunhole

[meliizzzzz]

hahahah he was a major participator of the execution of king charles, so he was a regiside, what exactly was u doing about in scholl or was it college?

[midnightrid3r]

This was a complete waste of my time.

[allrejected]

im doin oliver cromwell in skwl but it is so boring!!!! i would pay much more attention if they have something like this!!!

[dunctonhoney]

hey paperfun05 that's not true! He was very good at hunting and once his horse was galloping down a hill and he stop it and there weren't any reins!

[paperfun05]

Another interesting thing about Charles I is that he was completely paranoid about having a royal look, which he sadly lacked. He would wear stuffing in his clothes and would have to be strapped to his horse. He was also completely rubbish at hunting and would often slide off his horse and fall because of his clothes, etc., thus reaching results completely negating those he had initially hoped for.

[ToastedHead]

HAHA! Really Funny...Monty Python is so funny. but wasnt that last picture at the end a picture of napoleon crowing his wife...how does that have anything to do with oliver cromwell?

[evilplasticduck]

yeah... goob job noticing that... but really, Louis-David's picture of Napoleon's coronation is probably the best coronation painting ever done and it looked way cooler than anything we could've had with Charles II... you know, fashion over function always

[ToastedHead]

Good Point.

[niuchemist]

Very good!

The only comment I have is that the part showing Cromwell's parents is annoying, with the jerking camera. You'd have done better by slowly focusing toward the center of the two of the pictures, or by focusing in on each one at a time.
