Oliver Cromwell Collector Sword

Oliver Cromwell (1599 - 1658) was a powerful figure in English history during and after the English Civil War, rising from the rank of Captain of Horse to Lord Protector of England. His sword, said to have been carried at the Battle of Drogheda in 1649, has been remarkably well preserved and is in the collection of the Royal Armouries in Leeds, England, where it is displayed in the permanent collection.
