Un Regno in Guerra: la Prima fase della Guerra Civile Inglese (1642–1646)

Quando, il 22 agosto 1642, re Carlo I issò il suo stendardo a Nottingham, l’Inghilterra entrava in uno dei periodi più turbolenti della sua storia. La guerra civile non era soltanto un conflitto armato tra due fazioni: era il segno di una frattura profonda sulla natura stessa del potere, della religione e del futuro della monarchia. Dal 1642 al 1646, il regno fu diviso tra lealtà contrastanti, rivoluzioni militari e alleanze strategiche. E anche dopo la vittoria dei parlamentari, nulla […]

You know a dead leader is unpopular when, more than two years after death, his corpse is dug up, hung in chains, and beheaded, with the body tossed in a pit and the head displayed for 300 years. That happened on #ThisDayInHistory in 1661 to #OliverCromwell, dictator of Britain.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1653, #OliverCromwell became #LordProtector in #TheProtectorate: a #republic that lasted five and a half years. This period, called an interregnum because it lies between two eras of monarchy, united England, Scotland, & Ireland in a virtual dictatorship.

Interesting how Cromwell has already faded into a curiosity item for visitors, just a few years after he held power. History can be fast.

(What the world needs to know about Oliver Cromwell and the Roamer: they both went to the same Cambridge college, sadly separated by a few centuries.)

Fergus Butler-Gallie (@_F_B_G_): "There’s a very worrying valorisation of Cromwell going on among the internet right. Honouring a regicide, an ethnic cleanser, a religious extremist, a campaigner against freedom, fun and joy is absolutely not the way to get ordinary people on side. 1660 happened for a reason." | nitter
