    Share Share Post
    Cromwell was an English man and he rebelled against the Catholic Faith. He destroyed convents and churches in England and got the majority of the people to rebell with them. It is reported that Cromwell was surrounded at Cheshire on the top of a high mountain. When the soldiers were about to kill him he rolled down the mountain and killed himself.
