Answer
After Oliver Cromwell died, England didn't have a leader and didn't have a law for selecting one. Rather than have another member of the Cromwell family succeed, thus setting up a new kind of hereditary monarchy, the English invited Charles II, who unfortunately and grown up at the French Court and learned all the wrong things there, to come back to England and assume the vacant throne.
