"Cromwell, Protector of the Realm" is an Irish Protestant Song about the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland and about the aftermath of the Portadown massacre.
It's a shame that Cromwell and the Puritan Faction that plotted to behead the False King Stuart isn't more well known in the USA. The schools don't even mention it! Kinda a shame because OUR Founding Fathers (USA) drew a lot of inspiration from the short-lived English Republic.
@@olekcholewa8171 he didnt play much of a role in the abolition of christmas, but he only abolished it because many believed that the celebrations and things celebrated at christmas had nothing to do with what the scripture said
@@lmonty141 It's just the classic dickhead AngloSaxon- Protestant understanding of Christianity. Even if Christmas didn't have anything to do with the Bible (which isn't the case) then it still doesn't mean that its not a beautiful Christian tradition which shouldn't be celebrated. The Bible doesn't mention microrganisms. Planet Mars. Or human organ known as the brain. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge the existence of these things, just because Bible doesn't mention them by name.
"Then one day on the horison I did see, A hundered of our ships, all coming to my land And off he stepped, Protector of the Realm And he smiled and placed a sword into my hand."
@@aokperson_ He hated Dancing, because Puritanism thinks Dancing distracts oneself from their duties to the community and to god. Hence why the very little song Puritans did were communal chants.
Lyrics: A cold winter's morn in 1641, My lovely Ann was taken by O'Cane, Taken and defiled at the point of rebel gun, And drownèd in the murky River Bann. Hundreds more were taken at this date, Butchered and drowned, or buried in the sand, O'Neill's false promises ensured the same fate, I cursed his papist army to a man. Then one day on th' horizon I did see, A hundred of our ships all coming to my land, And off he stepped, Protector of the Realm, And he smiled and placed a sword into my hand. Off we marched to Drogheda, to Aston's guarded town, Together we stormed it, with Cromwell at the helm, He screamed, "You butchers! Remember Portadown, And Cromwell, Protector of the Realm!" And now I go with flowers to see my lovely Ann, I go and tell her that her death was not in vain, I tell my children about the Lord Protector, And how he saved our people from the same. Britain has had some pretty good Kings and Queens, Elizabeth I and Alfred comes to mind, But the Lord Protector emulates them all Oliver at the top one you will find. Cromwell, Cromwell the greatest British king, Strong in his beliefs, he never let us down, He fought for his people and he rid us of O'Neill, As we took our due revenge for Portadown. Cromwell, Cromwell the greatest British king, Strong in his beliefs, he never let us down, He fought for his people and he rid us of O'Neill, As we took our due revenge for Portadown.
This is hate speech! The only people who hate, are people who sing songs like this. Bloody disgrace! Irish people do not hate the English. There are tens of thousands of English people living and working in Ireland and very happy indeed.
@@azzucks No, it's definitely emulates. Regulates doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence whilst emulates means that Cromwell is either as good or surpasses every monarch that England has had.

Ollie C is the greatest Briton ever to have lived. Charles 1 was a despot and tyrant. He believed in what was called the Divine Right of Kings giving him carte blanche power over his realm. He could demand whatever he wanted. Cromwells' "republicanism" was enforced. He was never a default republican. He was a brilliant military leader, politician, statesman. Charles tried to get help from our traditional enemies - France. He was a traitor to his nation. Cromwell was a deliverer and avenger. The saviour of the nation. He came to personal faith in Christ during early adulthood. He is at home with Christ. His campaign in Ireland was retribution for the nakedly sectarian slaughter of English and Lowland Scots settlers. They stole no-ones land. It was granted to them by Royal warrant. They farmed and worked it successfully whilst maintaining their Christian faith. And they did their best to live peaceably with their native Irish Catholic neighbours. Phelim O'Neill and his armies had other ideas fuelled by sectarian and religious bigotry and hatred. And given blessing by the Roman church. (Though it has been recorded that a few brave priests tried to help their Protestant neighbours in some parts). O'Neill and his mob sowed to the wind and in due time they reaped the whirlwind. No-one will ever come close to the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell. Thankfully constitutional Monarchy found its form with William and Mary later on that century. And whilst I have some reservations about King Charles 3 I say, God Save the King.🇬🇧

A hypocrite who banned Christmas which is just rude, yet claimed to care about religious freedom but then didn't increasingly, sent Irish that didn't massacre as indentured servants overseas and then his son got overthrown lol. Funnily enough this song is kind of a jab at that, how he is "the greatest king", as he was referred to as "Your Highness" by some after all despite the ridiculous title of "Lord Protector". “Necessity hath no law”, seemed to justify his actions
Christmas was banned by a Parliamentary sub-committee, not Cromwell. They were led by Philip Nye, the long-winded Puritan preacher. No loss of course, Christmas is and was a pagan festival with a co-opted name.
@@jimsimpson8082 I'm english aswell, if that makes you any more happier, as our lady of la Sallette said: A great country, now Protestant, in the north of Europe, will be converted; by the support of this country all the other nations of the world will be converted.
This slaps ngl, I’m no fan of monarchy which is why I’m torn on wether to like him or not (As my town was Parliamentarian during the civil war) The only thing I dislike about Cromwell is how Puritan he was, and he’s a 50/50 figure in Ireland.
I don’t like how he let certain people back into Britain who helped finance his war on a based king and fellow Europeans, good catch song tho must admit
Grettings from morroco to Irish brothers and sisters and i hope your Irish culture and Irish language will still exist and i hope you will take back northern Ireland🇲🇦🤝❤️🇮🇪
Cromwell killed half of Britain and its based king and was financed by small hats so he got money off them so that if he won he’d let them back in which he did, and look at what they do they push degeneracy and debt, the lord protector of Zion maybe because he certainly wasn’t a protector of the white common Christian Brit’s who he shat on during his reign
I don’t think he should be called king he was lord protector of England and stop an Irish army coming to England ..he offered the English dignity on a plate and they chose serfdom
He would disagree with you, putting himself forward to be` crowned. I'm not sure we chose "serfdom" rather we chose "fun", after years of drab Cromwellianism.
Republican Scum ;) I'm a Monarchist personally, however I probably would have fought with Cromwell though, I'm not a republican or puritan, but I don't like my King tyrannising me, and increasing my taxes to be spent in merriment for foursomes with his cousins in Whitehall either.

@@fyrdman2185 The man committed genocide against the Irish. The removal of people is a genocide. He created a reservation for the Irish people and planned to replace the majority of the population of Ireland with English people. It was pure genocide.
@@swaythegod5812 He was a monarchist til the end, the issue was the King for being incompetent and outright treacherous. And Irish Catholics weren't Royalists either, they just sided with the Royalists as a temporary alliance against what they perceived to be the bigger threat which was the Parliamentarians.
@@Valencetheshireman927 look I’m not like super into the terrorism but the proddy militias had an equal death count and all of that pales in comparison to the legitimate genocide that this song depicts. Look at least the famine we can reasonably disagree if that was a genocide I don’t totally buy that it was (still atrocious) but Cromwell just legitimately did try to commit genocide here. Also if you look at a lot of the IRA songs they’re about the martyrs not the killing of civilians. This is just proddys welcoming Cromwell BECAUSE he mass murdered catholics
The civilians had been allowed to leave the city before Cromwell even showed up to the seige. Only the combatants were left when the city was taken. Most of the dead had already died in the fighting.
@@Mr.Patrick_Hung Not to mention how he had already offered them peace terms and they refused. Furthermore, he didn't do this at Kilkenny or Clonmel who had fully made peace terms, the latter being the most bloody battle with Cromwell losing 2000 of his own men, yet he honoured peace terms.

@@acidpunker1 the Normans stopped being relevant once the Tudors took over, moreover not many of them settled in England in the first place to make a big difference. The elite was called Anglo-Norman for a reason Reasons the Normans succeeded is because many in England supported William's claims to the English throne (he was a cousin of Edward the Confessor), King Harold Godwinson fought and defeated the Norwegians the same week William landed in Hastings in the north of England, so by the time the exhausted army was in the south, the Normans already were ready for it. Also King Harold lost his life in an accident during the war, which certainly contributed to Norman victory
To hear a song like this, about the king killer, the joy stealer, the puritan clown that was Oliver Cromwell, it disgusts me truly. That man inflicted pain upon all our people, English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish. He is not a man to be celebrated, at all.
Ollie was no royalist or loyalist. Otherwise he would not have killed his king and thousands of his subjects. He was perhaps England's first republican. There is no loyal orange lodge called after him. lol no. zero!
He was loyal to the king until the king kept going back on his word. Oliver was forced to kill the king because the king refused to accept the limits of his power.

@@som2479 He didn’t take the law into his own hands. He was in the parliamentarian army and obeyed the rules of parliament. It was only when he became lord protector that he became a dictator but I wouldn’t say that makes him one of history worst tyrants.

There are very few people you can point to in history and say "this was an objectively bad person on nearly every level." Cromwell was one of those people. He was also violently puritanical, which is not something I can stand for as a Christian, at least not as he promoted it.
@@leftwardglobe1643 Being authoritarian and brutal is not necessarily a bad thing, of course the whole banning of Christmas thing was silly, but even with that it was not really enforced, people still celebrated it.

He could demand whatever he wanted. Cromwells' "republicanism" was enforced. He was never a default republican. He was a brilliant military leader, politician, statesman. Charles tried to get help from our traditional enemies - France. He was a traitor to his nation. Cromwell was a deliverer and avenger. The saviour of the nation. He came to personal faith in Christ during early adulthood. He is at home with Christ. His campaign in Ireland was retribution for the nakedly sectarian slaughter of English and Lowland Scots settlers. They stole no-ones land. It was granted to them by Royal warrant. They farmed and worked it successfully whilst maintaining their Christian faith. And they did their best to live peaceably with their native Irish Catholic neighbours. Phelim O'Neill and his armies had other ideas fuelled by sectarian and religious bigotry and hatred. And given blessing by the Roman church. (Though it has been recorded that a few brave priests tried to help their
Protestant neighbours in some parts). O'Neill and his mob sowed to the wind and in due time they reaped the whirlwind. No-one will ever come close to the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell. Thankfully constitutional Monarchy found its form with William and Mary later on that century. And whilst I have some reservations about King Charles 3 I say, God Save the King.🇬🇧
Lands granted royal warrant after they were stolen off native people.

He enabled and strengthened Protestant Supremacy in Ireland and I say that as an Anglican.

Christmas was banned by a Parliamentary sub-committee, not Cromwell. They were led by Philip Nye, the long-winded Puritan preacher. No loss of course, Christmas is and was a pagan festival with a co-opted name.

Cromwell committed genocide in Ireland. Why is there a statue of him in Parliament Square?
I'm pretty sure it was not a genocide because the irish are still there. His statue is in Parliament because previous great men recognised that he was the greatest Englishman in history.

Because he is a HERO

Even though a lot died under Cromwell he still made a great change for humanity. He may have not ruled long but he sure as hell made a statement.
Cemented the strength of the Protestant ascendancy and likely helped lead to the partition of Ireland.
Two thirds of Ireland was ruled by the Confederation of Ireland.
Not for the Irish, that’s for certain

Our new King Charles III is also descended from King Charles I. As well as Alfred the great and William the Conqueror. Just as were the Saxe Cobergs who owed their place on the British throne due to their descent from King James Stuart the III and I .
@@acidpunker1 the Normans stopped being relevant once the Tudors took over, moreover not many of them settled in England in the first place to make a big difference. The elite was called Anglo-Norman for a reason
Reasons the Normans succeeded is because many in England supported William's claims to the English throne (he was a cousin of Edward the Confessor), King Harold Godwinson fought and defeated the Norwegians the same week William landed in Hastings in the north of England, so by the time the exhausted army was in the south, the Normans already were ready for it. Also King Harold lost his life in an accident during the war, which certainly contributed to Norman victory

Ollie was no royalist or loyalist. Otherwise he would not have killed his king and thousands of his subjects. He was perhaps England's first republican. There is no loyal orange lodge called after him. lol no. zero!
He was loyal to the king until the king kept going back on his word. Oliver was forced to kill the king because the king refused to accept the limits of his power.
