The Strange Case of Oliver Cromwell's Head

[Norsilca]

The pause before "uh.. collector" was perfect.

Years ago I read the royalists wanted to wreak revenge on the followers of Cromwell but Charles II chose to make a show of what he did to the dead Cromwell rather than having wholesale bloodshed.

That would make a great horror comedy where the ghost of Cromwell keeps haunting people to bury his head and put him to rest but they keep selling the head to other people to get rid of it.

The 60's were such a wild decade. 🎉😊

Im glad you exist history guy! Keep doing what you’re doing! 🙌

[rocketeer]

Oliver Cromwell thus holds the Guinness World Record for the most times head was given after death!

[jimhayes]

Sounds like a fun family joke. “Who’s got the head? I forget.”

[robertjensen]

Why did the bald guy get tattoos of rabbits on his head?
Because from a distance, they look like hares.

[censusgary]

So he had bad debts and bill collectors repossessed his ancestor’s head.

That seems pretty brutal.

Cromwell before he died didn't think of this *a-head*

Let's see ; synonyms for human behavior. Gross, disgusting, appalling, revolting, horrific, scary, disturbing, ...too many to list here.

That’s amazing, I’m a Wilkinson from England, I had no idea my family held Cromwell’s head

[Terry-nd]

Pretty much assured people would remember him 💁 there’s that.

"His head had been removed, " is a sentence no one wants in their biography.

[General_Confusion]

They probably wont let us do that nowadays. Don't you miss the old days?

[jamesrogers]

"The most interesting thing about King Charles the First was that he was five foot six at the start of hie reign, but only four foot eight at the end of it because of ...Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England (and his warts)..."
If you know, you know.

[Goldfinch]

Imagine taking your frustration out on a corpse you dug up 😂😂

[knownothing]

Almost exactly 300 years before it was buried again

[bertwesler]

Please, if you can, try to get your tag line in there. I adore it~!
"And it is history... That deserves to be remembered."

[patrickfreeman]

that's one way to get a head in life
