"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.

"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."
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.

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.
@@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.
@@GAMER123GAMING Cromwell crushed the libtards like the levellers. And also you can look up the interview the Austrian painter did with the NY times, he expressed admiration for Cromwell.
I like how the narrator hedges his bets between monarchism and republicanism by calling Cromwell "the greatest British [sic] king," but the part where Cromwell smiles struck a false note. Juding by contemporary portraits, the man was at least 180 proof gravitas by volume.
I realize this is probably a joke but a lot of ppl in the comments won't get it so don't be offended if I clarify: if you read this and actually think Cromwell never smiled, check out reports of him at his daughter's wedding dancing and drinking. "Horrible Histories" are Horrible at history indeed. He loved life and hated evil: you can do both if you're thoughtful. Let's party and love righteousness at the same time!

love the song....passionately hate Cromwell though....one of histories greatest monsters for his crazy radical puritan laws and his hatred of Irish people
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.🇬🇧
Long live Protestantism. The Catholics still go after us but, we have the TRUE High Priest! Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will not bow to their false statues or bow to their pope. May God have mercy on us all and may He show the Catholics their wrong ways.

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
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.
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
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.
@@fyrdman2185he was born in east anglia at either northants or Huntingdon thats the only connection there, and there's is no parliament buildings in East Mids...
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.
@@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.
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.
The provos, to this day, are still murdering off-duty PSNI policemen and their children. Why have their murals not been censored yet? Answer: People are allowed different views.
@@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.
@F. Murphy In all 56 years of your life, have you ever come across the term meta-irony? Or perhaps that is too hard of a concept for someone with an IQ equivalent to their age to understand.
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.
@@clonecommanderfoggy682what is he doing in the South? wasn't the rebellion of the few 1000 slain Planters in the North?? Who the f should listen to this Cromwell?

@@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
@@zheleznodoskyy They all are inter-married. The "nobility" and great landowners are all still of Norman descent. The great collapse of the nobility after the 1930s was the best thing ever. We need another mass-extinction event.
@@zheleznodoskyy 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
It genuinely amuses me how ignorant some people are of history and actually think that Cromwell was anywhere close to being somewhat of a half decent human being.
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.

False flag of Ulster, "libertarian".
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.🇬🇧
Lands granted royal warrant after they were stolen off native people.

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

Excellent song! Long live Cromwell and the parliamentarians!
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.
Traitor and heretic
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.
And he was a dictator
@@Valencetheshireman927 You're acting as if being a dictator is bad.
In various instances, it can be worthwhile for a country.
@@cxarhomell5867 He banned Christmas, music and sports so I wouldn’t say his dictatorship was particularly good for the country.
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
@@Valencetheshireman927
Yes, And what he did to Ireland lol.
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.
In England Cromwell is not a hero, in fact mist royalists spit on the floor at the mention if his name.
In England he's definitely a hero especially in East Anglia, that's why his statue is outside of Parliament.
Cromwell is a hero, and was voted in the top 5 greatest Britons of all time
@@fyrdman2185he was born in east anglia at either northants or Huntingdon thats the only connection there, and there's is no parliament buildings in East Mids...

British Napoleon
He was the First Zionist
Well at least an O'Neill is still First Minister
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
He enabled and strengthened Protestant Supremacy in Ireland and I say that as an Anglican.

@@clonecommanderfoggy682 Thanks.
@@kamalindsey Not you. Cromwell.
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.
Ironic, considering that Cromwell was a Republican.
Cromwell was not a Republican, he was a monarchist to the end, the incompetent King forced his hand to behead him
@@fyrdman2185he was republican tho
Back then the Irish Catholics were loyal royalists supporting the king of England
@@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.

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.
The provos, to this day, are still murdering off-duty PSNI policemen and their children. Why have their murals not been censored yet?
Answer: People are allowed different views.
Because he is a HERO
@@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.
@@fyrdman2185 It was genocide. There are still Jewish people aren't there? That doesn't mean what Hitler did wasn't genocide

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.

@@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

Great hero! Sadly we are encumbered by the Norman monarchy again.
the windors are a german royal family (original saxe-coburg and gotha, not very french)
i see your point anyways
@@zheleznodoskyy They all are inter-married. The "nobility" and great landowners are all still of Norman descent. The great collapse of the nobility after the 1930s was the best thing ever. We need another mass-extinction event.
@@zheleznodoskyy
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
The union should cease to exist in Ireland it’s just not appropriate, strengthen the home nations of Britain.
Cromwell was a great man.
It genuinely amuses me how ignorant some people are of history and actually think that Cromwell was anywhere close to being somewhat of a half decent human being.
Cope and seethe paddy
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.
