Oliver Cromwell (Monty Python Sings) - Monty Python[00:00:00]
The most interesting thing about King[00:00:37]
Charles I is that he was 5'6'' tall[00:00:39]
At the start of his reign[00:00:44]
But only 4'8'' tall at the end of it because of[00:00:46]
Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of England[00:00:52]
Puritan[00:00:57]
Born in 1599 and died in 1658[00:00:57]
September[00:01:02]
Was at first[00:01:04]
Only[00:01:06]
MP for Huntington[00:01:06]
But then[00:01:08]
He left the Ironside Cavalry[00:01:09]
At Marston Moor in 1644 and won[00:01:12]
Then he founded the new model army[00:01:16]
And praise be beat the Cavaliers at Naisby[00:01:19]
And the King fled up North[00:01:25]
Like a bat to the Scots[00:01:27]
But under the terms of[00:01:32]
John Pimm's solomn league and covenant[00:01:33]
The Scots handed King Charles I over to[00:01:35]
Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of England[00:01:38]
And his warts[00:01:43]
Born in 1599 and died in 1658[00:01:44]
September[00:01:49]
But alas[00:01:50]
Oy vey[00:01:52]
Disagreement then broke out[00:01:53]
Between[00:01:54]
The Presbyterian Parliament[00:01:55]
And the Military who meant[00:01:57]
To have an independent bent[00:01:59]
And so[00:02:01]
The second Civil War broke out[00:02:02]
And the Roundhead ranks[00:02:06]
Faced the Cavaliers at[00:02:07]
Preston banks[00:02:09]
And the King lost again silly thing[00:02:11]
Stupid git[00:02:14]
And Cromwell sent Colonel Pride[00:02:18]
To purge the House of Commons of[00:02:20]
The Presbyterian Royalists leaving[00:02:22]
Behind only the rump Parliament[00:02:23]
Which appointed a High Court at[00:02:26]
Westminster Hall[00:02:29]
To indict Charles I for tyranny[00:02:30]
OOOHHH[00:02:36]
Charles was sentenced to death[00:02:38]
Even though he refused to accept[00:02:41]
That the court had jurisdiction[00:02:44]
Say goodbye to head head[00:02:48]
Poor King Charles laid his head on the block[00:02:52]
January 1649[00:03:01]
Down came the axe and[00:03:04]
In the silence that followed[00:03:09]
The only sound that could[00:03:11]
Be heard was a solitary giggle from[00:03:12]
Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of England[00:03:16]
Olé[00:03:20]
Born in 1599 and died in 1658[00:03:21]
September[00:03:26]
Then he smashed[00:03:28]
Ireland[00:03:29]
Set up the Commonwealth[00:03:30]
And more[00:03:32]
He crushed the Scots at Worcester[00:03:33]
And beat the Dutch at sea[00:03:35]
In 1653 and then[00:03:37]
He dissolved the rump Parliament[00:03:41]
And with Lambert's consent[00:03:45]
Wrote the instrument of[00:03:47]
Government[00:03:50]
Under which Oliver was Protector[00:03:51]
At last[00:03:53]
The end[00:03:55]
