Right. The Royalists - supporters of Charles II were called 'Cavaliers', and the Puritan Parliamentarians - Cromwell's men - were the 'Roundheads'. They were called this because of their short haircuts and not, as some folks think, because they wore round metal helmets. The Cavaliers wore elaborate clothing, edged with beautiful lace (see pic) and the Roundheads favoured plain, dark colours. I know which I prefer!

If you fancy a bit more info, just type 'English Civil War' into somewhere like Wikipedia. There's loads of info about the period on the net. :D xxxx
