Royalist movements

Royalist movements refer to political factions or groups that advocate for the restoration or support of a monarchy, often during or after periods of republican rule or revolution. These movements typically uphold traditional values and seek to maintain the authority of a king or queen, often viewing monarchy as a stabilizing force in society. Historical examples include Royalists during the English Civil War, who supported King Charles I against Parliament, and various groups in countries like France and Spain that have opposed republicanism. Royalist sentiments can also emerge in modern contexts, reflecting nostalgia for past royal leadership.
