"Cavalier (/\u02CCk\u00E6v\u0259\u02C8l\u026A\u0259r/) was a name first used by Parliamentarians as a term of abuse for the wealthier male Royalist supporters of King Charles I and his son Charles II during the English Civil War, the Interregnum, and the Restoration (1642 \u2013 c. 1679). It was later adopted by the Royalists themselves."@en . . . . .
