Cromwell’s Head and Other Frightful Civil War Miscellany

£7.00

When King Charles II returned in 1660, one of his first acts was to exhume the body of Oliver Cromwell (who had died in 1658) and remove the head, in revenge for the same fate that befell his father, King Charles I in 1649. BoWS Member Robbie Porter will reveal what happened to the head.
