The Roundheads were primarily composed of Puritan supporters of the Parliament during the English Civil War in the 17th century. They were mainly from the middle and lower classes, including merchants, tradesmen, and yeomen, who opposed the monarchy's authority and sought greater parliamentary power. The term "Roundhead" referred to their short haircuts, which contrasted with the long hair of the Royalists, or Cavaliers. Their opposition to King Charles I played a significant role in shaping England's political landscape.
