Merle d'Aubigné is a detailed historical defense of Oliver Cromwell, the English leader who became Lord Protector during the 17th-century Commonwealth period. Published in 1847, the book aims to counteract longstanding criticisms of Cromwell, whom d'Aubigné portrays as a deeply principled leader driven by religious conviction and a commitment to Protestant ideals. Through careful examination of Cromwell's life, including his military campaigns, governance, and personal struggles, d'Aubigné presents Cromwell not as a tyrant but as a hero of religious liberty and political stability. The author argues that Cromwell played a vital role in advancing Protestantism and supporting freedoms that were otherwise at risk. With extensive research and a passionate tone, d'Aubigné’s work offers an alternative view of Cromwell’s legacy, presenting him as a figure who fought not only for political reform but also for spiritual freedom.
