TWO - OLIVER
Notes extracted from ye olde 'Newe Dictionary of Heraldry' booke
(edited by Stephen Friar) and other sources, Autumn 2005:
Oliver Cromwell was born in Huntingdon on April 25th 1599. Since his death
as Lord Protector in 1658 his life, ambitions, motives and actions have been
the subject of scholarly investigation and intense, often vitriolic, debate.
Whatever position is taken on Cromwell, "Chief of Men" or "Brave Bad Man",
his importance as a key figure in one of the most troubled periods of British
history is unassailable.
Noticed connection: Blair and Cromwell both Taureans, (Blair bairn in Scotland).
Helmingham - one of the HQs for 'The Sealed Knot - The Duchess - reported
affair with Oliver. He had a daughter the same age - so apparently highly
unlikely. He liked her for her brain - being as he wasn't a known liker of
women. (Neither was James the 1st & 6th!!!)
She was protecting her Royalist little ones from the fate of puritan
bureaucratic mediocrity. He dropped her when he found out of her Royalist
sympathies (he was in France at the time - include in PARIS page?). Also see
Cromwell 'Chef of Men' book by Antonia Fraser.
He wanted the status of King, but not the title
