Roundheads was the name given to soldiers who supported Cromwell and the Parliamentarians. They were called Roundheads after the shape of the helmets that they wore.
During the English Civil War (1642-1651), the supporters of Parliament were generally known as 'Roundheads,' as distinct from the names, 'Cavalier' and 'Royalist,' which were often applied to supporters of the King's side of the war. 'Roundheads' derived from the very short hair of these persons, as the usual style of the age (and of the King's supporters) was to have long, flowing hair.
The roundheads won because they had smart ideas where as the cavaliers they didnt have any smart ideas. The roundheads had decent fighting gear but the cavaliers had loads but still didnt win.
