Why They Executed Oliver Cromwell 3 Years After His Death

Описание: What if I told you that one of the biggest turning points in British history wasn't decided on a battlefield, but by a dying man's refusal to take a simple medicine? Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England, died in 1658 from a disease that had a cure waiting just a day's ride away. But he refused to take it. Why? Because the cure was discovered by his enemies.

In this documentary, we uncover the dark and ironic story of Oliver Cromwell's final days. We explore how a mosquito bite in an Irish marsh led to the fall of the Commonwealth and the Restoration of the British Monarchy. We also dive into the gruesome aftermath—why Cromwell's body was dug up, hanged, and beheaded three years after his death, and the bizarre 300-year journey of his severed head.

This is a story about power, religious hatred, and how a single decision about medicine changed the course of history forever.

In this video, we cover:

The "Tertian Fever" (Malaria) that plagued Cromwell for years.

The discovery of Jesuit's Powder (Quinine) and why Cromwell rejected it.

The tragic death of his favorite daughter, Elizabeth Claypole.

The "posthumous execution" of Cromwell at Tyburn.
