Oh, that’s right; I had forgotten about Cromwell in Ireland. I vaguely remember reading about the incident, or something similar, but for some reason I had thought it was the town he had burned, and not that he burned a church filled with townspeople seeking sanctuary. The Great Protector! Pssshaw!
