Yes I know that.

“...……..skeletal remains would solve a mystery that dates back to 1650. ….”

This was a artifact of the English Civil War (1642–1651)

Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex, KG, PC. (1485 – 28 July 1540) was an English lawyer and statesman who served as chief minister to King Henry VIII of England from 1532 to 1540, when he was beheaded on orders of the king.

Thomas Cromwell was a 100 years earlier!

I’ve read that the two, Oliver Cromwell & Thomas Cromwell are related.
