Royalist supporters in the English Civil War were commonly referred to as "Cavaliers." They were loyal to King Charles I and supported his authority against the Parliamentarians, who were known as "Roundheads." The term "Cavalier" often carried connotations of nobility and chivalry, reflecting their allegiance to the monarchy.
