The Protectorate
The Parliamentarians, chiefly under Oliver Cromwell and his New Model Army won the war. On the insistence of Cromwell Parliament sentenced Charles I to death and a Republic was created with Cromwell himself as Lord Protector (a de-facto King) and a "Rump Parliament" made up of MP's who agreed with him. This did not last long after Cromwell's death however and Charles II was crowned King in the 1660s.
Oliver Cromwell (1599 - 1658) was an English soldier and statesman who helped make England a republic and then ruled as lord protector from 1653 to 1658. He executed King James I. His son Richard was named as his successor and was lord protector of England for 8 months. However, he was not a charismatic leader like his father and he could not reconcile the various political, military and religious factions of his day and soon lost the support of the army on which his power depended. Parliament therefore asked King James' son to return to England as the monarch.
Secular entertainment such as plays, gambling, and sports were banned. Music was allowed only if it was religious in nature.

After King Charles I, England became a republic under the rule of Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector. This period of time is known as the Interregnum or the Commonwealth. It lasted from 1649 to 1660. Following Cromwell's death in 1658, his son Richard was briefly appointed as Lord Protector before the monarchy was restored and Charles II became king in 1660.
The English Puritans weren't keen on celebrating Christmas, as they regarded it as a continuation of a pagan festival. The Puritans were in control from 1649-1660.puritansim not sure but i know king Charles the second brought it back
Charles the first . The above does not answer the question. Charles I was executed in 1649 and England became a 'Commonwealth' under Oliver Cromwell. In 1660, Charles' son was invited back to England to become Charles II, England having become tired of the Commonwealth.
The restoration occured after the death of Oliver Cromwell when monarchies of Scotland, Ireland, and England were brought together again under King Charles II reinstating the monarchy in England after the English Civil War.
The English Commonwealth was the loosely used term for the system of government after the regicide of Charles I. The rump parliament declared England a Commonwealth although by definition England was actually a Protectorate under the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell.
