Oliver Cromwell is regarded centuries on as a controversial figure in History. He was the man who defeated King Charles I during the English Civil War, and he led Parliament's Army. But after the victory, he was the driving force too behind the execution of King Charles I, who was beheaded by the axe in London. But after the monarchy was restored following Cromwell's death, his body was dug up and was posthumously executed when Charles II ordered the Regicides. His dead body was paraded throughout the streets of London before it was hanged in chains and then executed by the axe. After this, Cromwell's head was placed on a spike above Westminster Hall and it remained here for over 20 years.

But then his head went missing and it passed through the hands of many different people who owned it and brought it for money. Cromwell's head went on display in a circus exhibition and was owned by many different people, however it was eventually in the 20th century returned to his former site of study, Sussex Sidney college in Cambridge University. It was then buried and interred in a resting place. But Cromwell's head went on a crazy journey to finally lay to rest 300 years after it was initially buried.
