Join me to uncover the historical journey of Oliver Cromwell's remains in this intriguing short documentary. Despite Cromwell's disdain for the monarchy, his funeral eerily resembled that of a king, with a grand procession through London and burial at Westminster Abbey. However, in a stunning turn of events, Cromwell's body was exhumed in 1661, under the orders of King Charles II, seeking retribution for his father's regicide.
Let's explore the peculiar circumstances surrounding the desecration of Cromwell's remains, including the relocation of his body and the journey his severed head would take for almost 300 years!
