the man who cut off a king's head and then spent the rest of his life trying to figure out what to do with the crown he refused to wear.
killed a monarch to end tyranny, ruled as one anyway. called himself lord protector because "king" was the one word he could not say out loud.
england dug him up two years after he died, hanged the corpse, and stuck his head on a pole for two decades. the ultimate review.
still argued about: liberator or dictator, depends which side of the irish sea you ask.
