But, you could argue that Cromwell was not an enemy of the English people, and was a patriot, in fact, he was not anti-royalist even, and did try to make Charles accept that the crown could not totally override Parliament.

So, maybe Cromwell does not meet the criteria?

^Definitely. Cromwell all around is just an intriguing character. I think you can go either way with him on the list.

I'm still shocked George beat out old Boney.  I wouldn't have even thought it'd be a competition!

Maybe because Boney's empire is a thing of the past.  It really did not survive him, and the empire of Napoleon III ended up as a joke.
Whereas old George's legacy, the vibrant USA, has clearly displaced the UK as top nation.
