Cromwell got around!
It was the convention that prisoners of war were executed, and appalling as that is, he was not unusually cruel by the standards of the day. There are interesting complexities to Cromwell and there are positive aspects to his life, such as his contribution to the development of the British constitution and ending persecution of the Jews, as well as the things that he is reviled for in Ireland especially.
