For the most part, Roundheads were supporters of the Parliament during the English Civil War, opposing King Charles I and his royalist supporters, known as Cavaliers. They were primarily composed of Puritans and other groups who sought to limit the power of the monarchy and promote a more democratic form of governance. The term "Roundhead" originally referred to their short, cropped hairstyles, which contrasted with the long hair of the Cavaliers. Their efforts ultimately led to significant political and social changes in England.
