Oliver Cromwell, like his ancestors, was a tool of the Stanleys. #Cromwell's mother is scrubbed everywhere, and we are supposed to believe she didn't know who her parents were. 
We are supposed to believe she was a Steward. But thepeerage com admits her grandfather was a Stuart from Scotland, not a Steward, so they don't hide this very well. These are the Stuarts, baronets, related to the Ingoldsbys, Palmers, Worsleys, and Sanders.
Through the Worsleys, they are related to the Nevilles. The Nevilles link us to the Windsors, Bacons (yes, those Bacons), and . . . Stanleys.
The English Civil War ended with the alleged beheading of Charles I in 1649. Like the previous history of England we are sold, this history never made much sense.

If we look broadly at the given history of Charles I, it seems like he did pretty much the same thing his father did, shutting down Parliament whenever he liked and stealing freely from all those around him. So why did he fail where other kings succeeded?
Should we believe the mainstream historians who tell us he just made more mistakes than previous kings? No, we shouldn't. We shouldn't believe anything mainstream historians tell us, and least of all things like this.
