The modern anglo-saxon world has been pretty limited in this respect - but Charles I of England is an excellent example of pretty much just this playing out and being solved with a national razor.

I agree with you - I should've caveated that the Anglo-Saxon aversion to military coups comes precisely from Cromwell IMO.
