The Mark Steel Lectures
Oliver Cromwell (3x1)
:
Join Mark Steel as he charts Cromwell’s course through British
history; his election and resignation from parliament, the formation
of his New Model Army, the overthrow and subsequent execution of the
King, Charles I, the monumental shift of power from monarchy to
parliament, the abolition of the House of Lords right through to the
massacre at Drogheda. Oh, and the introduction of the first ever
pineapple to Britain.
