I believe Cromwell was beheaded. Is this clown, Boot, willing to follow his lead?
nonsense.
Cromwell died a kidney ailment. It was Charles I who lost his head.
Oliver Cromwell died of malaria.
It was the king — Charles I — who was beheaded.
Wrong Cromwell — Thomas Cromwell was beheaded. Oliver died of natural causes, although his body was dug up and posthumously beheaded some time later. That really showed him.
Cromwell died of natural causes. Once Charles II reclaimed the throne he was bent on revenge of those who had toppled his father. Cromwells body was disinterred, hung, drawn and quartered, and his head placed on a pike on London Bridge as a message to all would-be traitors.
Cromwells son succeeded him in ruling as Lord Protector, but did not last long, and resigned in 1659. The monarchy was then restored under the rule of Charles II. It was this king who demanded that Cromwell be punished for his crimes of high treason and regicide. And so Cromwells body was exhumed, along with John Bradshaw, President of the High Court of Justice for the trial of King Charles I and Henry Ireton, Cromwells son-in-law and general in the Parliamentary army during the English Civil War, to be posthumously killed. The date of the execution was chosen as it was the anniversary of King Charles I own death, 12 years earlier.
The bodies were hung and then beheaded at sunset and thrown into an unmarked pit. The heads were put on a spike at Westminster Hall, where they stayed on display for more than 20 years. The heads only came down because a storm broke the spike and sent the heads tumbling down.
