Oliver Cromwell was an English military and political leader. He opposed the rule of the monarchy and orchestrated two English Civil Wars - the second of which saw him become the Lord Protector of the Commonwealth after the execution of Charles I.
Cromwell ruled until his death in 1658, following which his son Richard ruled for nearly a year and was then replaced by the English Council of State, who ruled until 1660 when Charles II returned to England and re-established the monarchy and claimed the throne amidst political turmoil.
