Life in the UK Test 35
What name was given to those who supported the king during the Civil War that began in 1642?
Correct Answer: The Cavaliers
Those who supported King Charles I during the English Civil War that began in 1642 were called the Cavaliers. The name derived from the French word for "horseman" (chevalier) and was associated with the Royalist cavalry and their flamboyant, long-haired image.
The opposing side — those who supported Parliament — were called the Roundheads, named for the short-cropped hair of many Puritan supporters. The Roundheads, led by Oliver Cromwell, ultimately defeated the Royalist forces.
