my greatest source of inspiration: my own extremely silly posts on twitter dot com. they are professionals

#thomas fairfax #oliver cromwell #artwork #ooooo look at fairfax with his fancy long name. get in your normal tag young man #fairfax #that’s better :-) cromwell doesnt have an individual tag sorry mate #this is very very silly but i kept laughing about it so i decided i needed to Visualise......to Manifest #given how often fairfax was stricken with Fevers and Agues i can imagine this happening at least once. cromwell trying his best to organise #the troops whilst fairfax keeps up a steady stream of Utter Nonsense in the background #it makes me sad that their relationship ended so acrimoniously given how close they were before :-( regicide will do that #there is speculation amongst historians (or one at least. hi mr hopper) that cromwell promised fairfax that the king would not be executed #if he went on trial and fairfax (who seems to have been quite a gullible person) took his word for it and was subsequently traumatised when #charles actually Was executed #he seems to have spent most of the trial (which he conspicuously did not attend) praying for the king’s life which alas did not work :-( #and then much later (1658) cromwell had fairfax’s son-in-law arrested and fairfax went to try to get him out and he and cromwell ended up #having a big barney and fairfax stormed off and a week or so later (if i recall correctly) cromwell was dead. so they never made up......sad #but they were good chums in the 1640s! by the end of the decade cromwell was using secretaries to write all his letters except the ones to #his family and the ones to fairfax :-) besties #at least cromwell never found out fairfax helped restore the king immediately after he died! hooh boy #fairfax dies and wakes up in the afterlife and Immediately cromwell is like You Massive Bastard. You Wanker. You Cock #(alive cromwell would never say that because swearing is very un-puritan but i like to think he loosened up a bit after being dead) #what on earth am i talking about. stopping now
