    Cromwell did a lot of harm in my district.

    Cromwell did a lot of harm in my district. There was a monastery in Killarkin in which there were four or five Priests. one day one of the Priests was saying Mass and he was spied upon and was attacked by Cromwell who beheaded him and put his head for sale. The other priests were let free and Cromwell threatened them not to say Mass there afterwards.
