In this unique episode of the historical comedy series, we delve into the life of Oliver Cromwell. We witness his ascent from anonymity to becoming a key figure opposing King Charles I during the English Civil War, ultimately leading to the King's execution, which he deems a 'cruel necessity.' Alongside Cromwell, we encounter a quirky group of Puritan soldiers with peculiar names, while iconic writers Shakespeare and Milton engage in a spirited verbal duel. As always, our witty host Rattus is there to navigate the amusing twists of history!
