Yes, too bad Shakespeare missed Oliver Cromwell and the English civil wars - In particular whose scenes where Cromwell had Charles I executed, and that famous scene where he marched his army into Parliament and dissolved it.

I’ve always admired Cromwell.

I have his picture on my living room wall.

Well Shakespeare was fond enough of killing Kings to have the two Richards die violently on, or just offstage. He would have done a bang up job with Cromwell and Charles.

You obviously aren’t Irish. I am, hence no love for Cromwell.
