Royalist Army

The Royalist Army refers to the military forces that supported the monarchy, particularly during conflicts such as the English Civil War (1642-1651). Led by figures like King Charles I, the Royalists fought against Parliamentarian forces, who sought more political power and governance. The Royalist Army consisted of nobles, royalists, and supporters of the king, aiming to preserve the monarchy's authority. Ultimately, the Royalists were defeated, leading to increased parliamentary power and the temporary establishment of a republic in England. The term "Royalist" is also used in other historical contexts, such as during the French Revolution.
