they are the people who either fought for parliament (round heads) or the king (royalists).

they called the round-heads 'roundheads' because they cut their hair!

they also called the royalists 'calivers' because they often rode Horses!

royalist supports a particular monarch as head of state for a particular kingdom, or of a particular dynastic claim. In the abstract, this position is royalism. It is distinct from monarchism, which advocates a monarchical system of government, but not necessarily a particular monarch. Most often, the term royalist is applied to a supporter of a current regime or one that has been recently overthrown to form a republic.

In the United Kingdom today, the term is almost indistinguishable from "monarchist," because there are no significant rival claimants to the throne. Conversely, in 19th-century France, a royalist might be either a Legitimist, Bonapartist, or an Orléanist, all being monarchists.

The Royalists were supporters of the monarchy - mainly Roman Catholics, Anglicans, and members of nobility - against the supporters of Parliament, consisting principally of Puritans, smaller landowners, and middle-class town dwellers.
