Historical background
GREAT-BRITAIN - ANNE STUART - COMMONWEALTH
(1649-1660)
King Charles I of England was beheaded on January 30, 1649 in Whitehall, near Westminster, on January 30, 1649. The Roundheads accused him in particular of reigning as an absolute monarch. Oliver Cromwell, commander-in-chief of the Roundheads, becomes master of England. On September 10, 1649, he decimated the garrison of Drogheda, near Dublin, and defeated the Irish. On September 3, 1651, he defeated the Scots at Worcester. After replacing Parliament with an assembly of 140 members appointed by the army, he took the title of Protector of the Republic on December 16, 1653. He died on September 3, 1658, leaving power to his son, Richard. Richard Cromwell will not last long because on May 29, 1660 Charles II, son of Charles I, ascends the throne of England.
