YouTube - Oliver Cromwell - Protestant
Click on this link to see a video on Youtube which is a very very good introduction to Oliver Cromwell and the English Civil War. Notice how in this film Oliver Cromwell is shocked by the harsh treatment of peasants by Lords who are taking over the common land, by the changes in the church ordered by William Laud (more gold and statues in the church) and by the fact that the King refuses to call parliament.
The film is melodramatic and NOT strictly historical, but it is useful and interesting revision. It lasts around ten minutes. The video is an extract from a popular film about Cromwell.
