- Abstract
The article considers the historiography of the 1649 regicide of King Charles I of Great Britain, English parliamentarian leader Oliver Cromwell, and the English Civil War. It reports on the 1660 execution of ten men considered regicides during the Restoration. Topics considered include the cult of Cromwell that existed during the Victorian era, the refusal of British King George V to name a ship after Cromwell, and the 1970 film "Cromwell" by Ken Hughes.
