The History of Oliver Cromwell

Oliver cromwell was born in april 15 99. His family owned extensive property around huntingdon, but because his father had been a younger son, the estates that oliver inherited in 16 17, qualified him as lesser gentry. At some point here in the late 16 twenties, cromwell apparently went through a particularly dark night of the so manifested by depression and illness. And though it's tough to tell exactly what effect this had on him, by the early 16 thirties, we find him a passionate and godly puritan.
