Parliamentarians ("Roundheads") and Royalists ("Cavaliers") found against each other in the civil war of 1642-1645.

Roundheads supported the Parliament of England during the English Civil War which lasted from 1641 to 1652. Roundheads were Parliamentarians, who fought against King Charles I of England and his supporters, called the Cavaliers or Royalists, who claimed rule by absolute monarchy and the principle of the 'divine right of kings'. The Roundhead party wanted the Parliament to have supreme control over executive administration of the country.

Answer:

The Royalists and the Roundheads.

Step-by-step explanation:

The English Civil War of 1642-1645 was a series of civil wars between Parliamentarians and Royalists. The Parliamentarians were also called "Roundheads," while the Royalists were also called "Cavaliers." The conflict arose because of the different opinions that these people had when it came to the way in which England should be governed. The war ended with the Parliamentarian victory at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651.
