Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell In the closing year of the sixteenth century, in the quiet little town of Huntingdon, Oliver Cromwell first saw the light. He was born on April 25, 1599, and baptized at St John´s Church on the 29th of the same month and entered in the parish register as "son of Robert Cromwell, gentleman, and of Elizabeth Cromwell, his wife." Who were Robert and Elizabeth Cromwell? Many years afterward this son, speaking to one of his Parliaments, described his social position in the words, "I was by birth a gentleman, living neither in any considerable height nor yet in obscurity." Oliver had no reason to be ashamed of his ancestry on either side. His great-grandfather - Richard Williams by name - was a Welshman, and here we have the Celtic strain that fired Cromwell´s more sluggish English blood. Richard Williams was nephew of Thomas Cromwell, Wolsey´s friend and Henry VIII´s minister, known as ´the Hammer of the Monks.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
