Who dismissed Parliament in 1649?

In 1649, the Rump Parliament was effectively dismissed by Oliver Cromwell during a military coup known as the "Pride's Purge," which occurred in December 1648. However, it was not formally dissolved until April 1653, when Cromwell took action to dismiss it due to its inability to govern effectively. Cromwell's actions led to the establishment of the Protectorate, marking a significant shift in English governance.
