dec 16, 1653 - Cromwell as Lord Protector

Description:

Cromwell dissolves Parliament and takes the role of Lord Protector, since he did not want to be named King.

He was to be advised by a Council of State but many felt that he was adopting lots of the same traits that the English Civil Wars were fought over.
