Named after Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Ireland and Scotland. The iconic face of the parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War, he was a principal commander of the New Model Army at the Battle of Naseby (June 1645) together with Thomas Fairfax. Although he had no formal military training, he was a clever strategist and was able to rout the Royalist forces, rescuing his son-in-law, Henry Ireton, and other prisoners in the process. After the Royalist army was defeated, he was the force behind King Charles I’s trial. Following the king’s execution, he became the military and political leader of the newly formed Commonwealth, later styling himself ‘Lord Protector’.
