Oliver Cromwell
Cromwell ruled by the power of his army and dissenters kept their heads down – or lost them!
Britain was divided. The English Parliament wanted an end to monarchy. Scotland wanted a covenanted king.
By June 1650, Charles, eventually agreed to accept the Covenants, and sailed from Europe and landed in Speyside in Scotland.
Scotland had bound itself once again to the Stuart monarchy. England, in contrast, was now a revolutionary republic under Oliver Cromwell.
