TRUTH !!
When Cromwell died in 1658, his body was embalmed and secretly buried at Westminster Abbey. He had played a leading role in the trial and execution of King Charles I, but the experiment he led collapsed within two years after his death. When Charles' son, Charles II, assumed the throne in 1661, he had Cromwell's remains dug up and re-buried beneath the gallows...except for his head, which was placed on a pole and mounted atop Westminster Hall. The grisly head stayed there for the remainder of the reign of Charles II.
