Edited sentence: (Vimes's followers were called Ironheads, a combined reference to the Roundheads (Parliamentarians) for who Cromwell fought, and Cromwell's cavalry regiment the Ironsides).He also seems to have inherited an almost phobic reaction to monarchs.However, in current history, Keel was in fact Sam himself flung back in time thirty years.It has been suggested that Sam's father was a Watchman, and he is the descendant of Suffer-Not-Injustice Vimes, the Watch Commander who, much like Oliver Cromwell, instigated the rebellion against, and subsequent beheading of, Lorenzo the Kind, the appalling last king of the city, a sadistic torturer described as 'very fond of children'.It was around this time he was taught all he knows by Sergeant-At-Arms John Keel, which is where his cynical outlook on life (and, paradoxically, his firm belief in justice) comes from.Vimes and his famous ancestor share a nickname: Old Stoneface (another Cromwellian allusion)
