Here is a list of the bad things Oliver Cromwell did:- - In September 1649, Cromwell's 12,000-strong forces stormed Drogheda, north of Dublin. His troops massacred nearly everyone in the garrison and the town - women and children alike. Cromwell justified this as the "righteous judgment of God upon these barbarous wretches". - A month later Wexford suffered the same fate and both incidents, justified by the British as militarily necessary to subdue the population, still figure strongly in Irish republican history. - He was heavily involved in the first execution of a monarch - the execution of Charles I. - He abolished Parliament, when during the Civil War he claimed to be protecting them. - He imprisoned the leaders of the Levellers, and refused to let him go, even when presented with a petition with over 10,000 signatures on it.

In some battles, where they had opponent archers shooting arrows out, Oliver Cromwell would use children and occasionally some ladies to shield him from the incoming arrows.
