The Parliamentarians (Roundheads) were mainly the only people against Charles 1, and there were a lot of them around the 1600s.

They disliked Charles because

~ He married a Catholic Frenchwoman. All people in England didn't like Catholics much because Guy Fawkes, who attempted to blow up Parliament and kill James 1 (Charles 1's father), was a Catholic.

~ He ruled on his own (he never let his advisors ... well, advise him)

~ He raised taxes until they were so high it was a struggle to just pay them

~ Parliament's input was frequently ignored by the King (I think ... I'm not quite sure on that fact, you'll have to look it up.)

Hope this helped :)
