A Roundheads was a nickname given to large supporters of the Parliamentarian cause in the English Civil War. A Royalists, on the other side, were the nicknamed Cavaliers. A Roundheads were and then nicknamed because of the comparatively short obviously document son style haircuts favoured by Puritans, rather than a hanker ringlets of the fashionable formal Cavaliers. A title began as a term of abuse: in the New Model Army, it was the punishable offence to call for a fellow soldier a Roundhead.
