I can finally share my piece for Broads And Broadswords vol 2! (@broadsandbroadswords) A wonderful zine that, this year alone, managed to donate over 6500 USD to the Transgender Law Center.
I decided to do a take on a sword in the stone type of story.
She was fated to claim an enchanted sword and, upon doing so, was crowned queen. And heavy is that crown; she has seen much horror and loss, some of it by her own hand. So she pleads for the stone to take back the sword and its burden. (Okay, maybe less plead and more she tried to violently ram it back in place with sheer anger and anguish) But fate is a cold uncaring beast.

⚜️ Broadsword of Oliver Cromwell, England, c. 1650
Medium: Iron alloy (steel), partially engraved; chiseled; silver wire; wood
Length (overall): 96.8 cm
Blade: 82.6×4.9 cm
Hilt: 12.9×11.7 cm
Pommel: Height-5.4 cm, Diameter-3.3 cm
Weight: 1405 g
Facts:
▪️ August 9, 1655 - Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell divides England into 11 districts
▪️ Cromwell is an iconic figure in British history
▪️ He was a key figure in the trial and execution of King Charles I
▪️ He has the peculiar distinction of being the only political criminal to be executed two years after his death
Cromwell was exhumed from his grave in 1661 and put on trial by the late king's son, Charles II. Posthumously convicted of high treason, Cromwell's corpse was hanged and beheaded, and his head was impaled on a 6-meter spike atop Westminster Hall. The mummified head remained on the spike for more than 20 years
▪️ In 1960 (300 years after Cromwell's death), Dr. Horace Wilkinson donated the head to Sidney Sussex College at Cambridge, Cromwell's alma mater
"Cromwell's head is buried somewhere in the college chapel, supposedly in a biscuit tin" (says Stuart Orme, curator of the Cromwell Museum)
▪️ Cromwell's most famous quote is "Put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry," but there's no proof that he actually said it. The line comes from a 19th-century poem called "Oliver's Advice" based on a "well-authenticated anecdote" associated with Cromwell
▪️ September 3 is a fateful date: Cromwell routed the Scots at Dunbar (1650). The Battle of Worcester would prove to be the final action of the English Civil Wars (1651). Cromwell's first Parliament met on 3rd September, 1654.
▪️ Cromwell died suddenly at age 59 on 3rd September 1658. He suffered from a lethal combination of malaria and typhoid fever.

Материалы: сталь, гравировка; серебряная проволока; дерево
Длина (общая): 96,8 см
Лезвие: 82,6×4,9 см
Рукоять: 12,9×11,7 см
Навершие: высота-5,4 см, диаметр-3,3 см.
Вес: 1405 г
Факты:
▪️ 9 августа 1655 г. Лорд-протектор Оливер Кромвель делит Англию на 11 округов
▪️ Оливер Кромвель - человек, повлиявший на ход истории Англии
▪️ Он был ключевой фигурой в судебном процессе и казни короля Карла I
▪️ Известен тем, что является единственным политическим преступником, казненным через 2 года после своей смерти. Был эксгумирован в 1661 г. и предан суду сыном покойного короля Карлом II. Посмертно осужденный за государственную измену, труп Кромвеля был повешен и обезглавлен, а его голова была пронзена 6-метровым штырем. Мумифицированная голова оставалась на крыше Вестминстерского дворца более 20 лет
▪️ В 1960 г. (через 300 лет после смерти Кромвеля) доктор Гораций Уилкинсон пожертвовал его голову колледжу Сидни Сассекс в Кембридже, альма-матер Кромвеля.
"Голова Кромвеля похоронена где-то в часовне колледжа, предположительно в банке из-под печенья" (Стюарт Орм, куратор музея Кромвеля)
▪️ Самая известная цитата Кромвеля: "Уповайте на Бога, мальчики мои, и держите порох сухим", но нет никаких доказательств того, что он действительно это сказал. Эта строка взята из стихотворения XIX в. под названием "Совет Оливера", основанного на "достоверном анекдоте", связанном с Кромвелем
▪️ 3 сентября - роковая дата Кромвеля. В этот день он одержал победу над шотландцами при Данбаре (1550), разгромил отряды Карла I в Вустере (1651). Первое заседание созданного Кромвелем парламента (1654), после чего этот день был объявлен Днем благодарения.
▪️ Умер 3 сентября 1658 г. в возрасте 59 лет от малярии и брюшного тифа
