I'd say they had flintlocks, but I'd be lieing.

In retrospect, that would be a yes. Cromwell was a wuss anyway, though, wasn't he?

You should read a book about Oliver Cromwell (and his warts). Or you need a little history lesson, in the form of a SONG!! JOHN: The most interesting think about King Charles the First is that he was 5"6' tall at the start of his reign, but only 4"8' tall at the end of it. Because of.. Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England (Puritan) Born in 1599 and died in 1658 (September) Was at first (only) MP for Huntington (but then) He led the Ironside Cavalry at Marston Moor in 1644 and won Then he founded the new model army And praise be, beat the Cavaliers at Naisby And the King fled up North, like a bat, to the Scots ERIC: But under the terms of John Pimm's Solemn League and Covenant, the Scots handed King Charles the First over to.. Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England (and his warts) Born in 1599 and died in 1658 (September) But alas (Oy Vay!) Disagreement then broke out (between) The Presbyterian Parliament and the Military who meant to have an independent bent and so.. The 2nd Civil War broke out And the Roundhead ranks faced the Cavaliers at Preston Banks And the King lost again, silly thing! (Stupid git) ERIC: And Cromwell sent Colonel Pride to purge the House of Commons of the Presbyterian Royalists, leaving behind only the rump Parliament... Which appointed a High Court at Westminster Hall To indict Charles the First for... TY-HY-HYR-HYR-ANNY!! (Oooooohhhh!) Charles was sentenced to death Even though he refused to accept That the court had.. JURIS-DI-ICTION! (Say goodbye to his head!) Poor King Charles Laid his head On the block (January 1649) DOOOOWWWNN came the ax (*chop* ooohh!) ERIC: And, in the silence that followed, the only sound that could be heard was a solitary giggle, from... Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England (OlÇ!) Born in 1599 and died in 1658 (September) Then he smashed (Ireland) Set up the commonwealth (And more!) He crushed the Scots at Worchester And beat the Dutch at sea in 1653 and then.. He dissolved the rump Parliament (voice gets higher) And with Lambert's consent Wrote the instrument of government Under which Oliver was Protector at last THE END! (cheers to fade) -
