My 9th Great Grandmother Elizabeth Cromwell
Then there was Oliver Cromwell,one of the generals on the parliamentary side in the English Civil War against King Charles I. He was a key figure in the overthrow of the Stuart monarchy. As lord protector, he was responsible for England becoming a great European power again after it lost some of its power after the death of Queen Elizabeth I.
He was said to be a man of outstanding gifts and forceful character.
His biography says ,"He was one of the most remarkable rulers in modern European history. Although a convinced Calvinist, he believed deeply in the value of religious toleration. At the same time, Cromwell’s victories at home and abroad helped to enlarge and sustain a Puritan attitude of mind, both in Great Britain and in North America, that continued to influence political and social life until recent times." - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Oliver-Cromwell
