UK History: Chapter 8, Exercise 2 — Possible Solution
======================================================================

CORRECTION
Cromwell was not crowned. Parliament offered him the crown on 25 May 1657 and
he refused, citing divine providence. He was Lord Protector from
16 December 1653 and died on 3 September 1658, after which his son Richard
succeeded him. The monarchy was restored in May 1660 under Charles II.

REWRITE
"Cromwell was Lord Protector from 1653 until his death in 1658 and refused the
crown offered in 1657; the monarchy was restored in 1660."
