Not only did he order Parliament to sit, but he forbade EVERYONE from celebrating Christmas as a "happy" event. And while Christmas, back then, was licentious, wild, and very unlike what all of us now think of as CHTISTMAS, replacing it with dour church services and then right back to work, wasn't so great an idea either. But it's what appears to appeal to you. Ergo, I said what I did to you. Obviously, I was correct. You impart to me many sentiments not my own. You are not correct.
The book is Antonia Fraser's classic biography Cromwell. I've never read it before. Suffice it to say that its view of the Protector is much less critical than yours.
From your posts and in your very own words, you have proved that I am correct about you. You may try to deny it, but go read what you wrote about Christmas and the name calling you indulged in. I Am far more correct then you are, about yourself.
Thanks for the title and author...I've read that one. Fraser's a good writer, but she's always a bit "soft" on her bio subjects. Have you her one on Marie Antoinette?
