The Roundhead period refers to the time during the English Civil War (1642-1651) when Parliamentarians, known as Roundheads due to their short-cropped hair, opposed the Royalists, or Cavaliers, who supported King Charles I. This era was characterized by significant political, social, and religious upheaval as the Roundheads sought to limit the power of the monarchy and advocate for a more parliamentary form of governance. The conflict ultimately led to the trial and execution of Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell.
