And then there was Oliver Cromwell. Having executed Charles the First during the English Civil War, Cromwell lost out after his death. "Charles'(II) new parliament ordered the disinterment of Cromwell's body from Westminster Abbey and the disinterment of other regicides John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton, for a posthumous execution at Tyburn. After hanging "from morning till four in the afternoon",[1] the bodies were cut down and the heads placed on a 20 feet (6.1 m) spike above Westminster Hall. A storm at the end of the reign of James II broke the pole upon which it stood, throwing the head to the ground, after which it belonged to private collectors and museum owners until 25 March 1960, when it was buried at Sidney Sussex College in Cambridge." "Posthumous execution".Now that's revenge! Stan
