Roundhead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Roundheads (or Parliamentarians) were the Puritans under Oliver Cromwell in the English Civil War. They were the Protestants, and the largely Anglican Royalists on the other side were the Cavaliers.

They were so named because of the round helmets they wore.
