Some not so great things he did…
• He dismissed parliament almost as much as Charles I
• He was brutal in crushing the Irish (he hated Catholics)
• He got a really big head and thought of himself as ruling by “divine right.”
What happened when he died?• He left plans for his son, Richard, to become
Lord Protector, – But, Richard was a farmer and was never
supported so he lasted two years.
“Faarrrm livin’ is the life for
me…”
