Roundhead
Anti-royalist English soldier
Roundhead was a term for supporters of Parliament against King Charles I during the English Civil War (1642–1651), opposed to the Royalist Cavaliers.
The name mocked the close-cropped hairstyles of Puritan men, contrasting with the flowing locks fashionable among aristocrats.
The Roundheads defeated the king's forces at Naseby.
