  1. Cromwell was a man who was sent from England to rule over the people of Ireland. He was a bad man and he and his army used chase the priests and the people out of the good land to the mountains and it was there they used to say Mass. He eveicted all the Catholics of the thirty two counties of Ireland. He used wither the rushes with a spit.
