Overview: Necessity hath no law. Feigned necessities, imagined necessities…are the greatest cozenage that men can put upon the Providence of God, and make pretenses to break known rules by.” – Oliver Cromwell
“Put your trust in God, my boys, but keep your powder dry.” – attributed to Oliver Cromwell
For over a thousand years, England has had a monarchy, and though the line of succession did not always pass smoothly, it has almost always been continuous. England has more often been faced with the claims of competing kings and queens than with a period of no monarch at all. The major exception to that rule came in the 11 years between 1649 and 1660, when England was a republic. Following the disastrous reign of Charles I and the civil wars that led to his execution, Parliament and the army ruled England. England’s republican experiment started out as a work of collaboration and compromise; lords, army officers and members of Parliament (MPs) worked together to find a political settlement that did not include the despised royal House of Stuart.
