The English Civil War
Royalists
The Royalists were strong supporters of the monarchy. Royalists were mainly Roman Catholics, Anglicans, and members of nobility. They were against the supporters of Parliament, consisting principally of Puritans, smaller landowners, and middle-class town dwellers.
Parliamentarians
A parliamentarian is a supporter of a “follower” of parliament. They therefore agree with everything the parliament says and supports them in everything they do. They are therefore against royalists considering that they support opposite sides.
