Is oliver cromwell better than Charles you?
Oliver Cromwell didn't give people a choice. In a way, he was a dictator.But no, he wasn't popular. He banned everything that people saw as "fun", including:Christmas DayDancingSinging in publicTheatreEating sweets on SundayPlaying sportsMake-upColourful clothesDecorations (for all occasions)Engaging in something that Cromwell banned resulted in very harsh penalties.He was the least popular ruler England has ever had. In fact, when Cromwell died, his own son refused to take his place because he disagreed with his father - so British rule was passed back to the rightful Monarchy.
What did catholics think of oliver cromwell?
In James Hitchcock's History of the Catholic Church, on page 301, he puts a brief note about the Puritan leader Oliver Cromwell (d. 1658) invaded and brutally suppressed all resistance [in Ireland], beginning a policy of seizing the lands of the Catholic nobility and systematically settling English and Scottish Proestants in their place. Under the circumstances, I do not think that the Catholics thought too highly of him having their lives brutally suppressed and their property stolen.
Was oliver cromwell exhumed?
He certainly was. On his return from exile and on the monarchy being restored, Charles II had Cromwell and two others of high office - who acted their parts in his fathers regicide - and had them hung, drawn and quartered as was the punishment for high treason. Many others were executed, but these were the only ones who were exhumed and 'executed' after death, although as they were already dead it was mostly symbolic. The various body parts were displayed at several locations on Britain - serving to deter others from the same crime - and many years later a storm dislodged Cromwell's mummified head from its Pike atop the Tower of London, where it landed in the street. A soldier picked it up and sold it as a trophy. Cromwell's head changed hands several times before finally being buried in an undisclosed place, in 1960.

What happened to cromwell?
During his life or after it? Cromwell had been buried secretly in Westminster Abbey, a very holy and prestigious place to be buried. The public found out about his burial place about two years after his death. They dug up his body, tied it to the back of a cart (on a noose) and dragged his body through London. After a while, when most of the limbs had fallen off, they chopped off his head and dumped his remains outside of London.
