English Civil War Society

The English Civil War Society consists of many smaller subdivisions, each run semi-autonomously, and which are known to their members as "regiments". Each of these regiments falls under one or other of the two armies of the English Civil War Society, the Roundhead Association and the King's Army. The Roundhead Association army represents the army of Parliament – the "roundheads" – and also the Covenanters of Scotland, whilst the Kings Army represents that of the King – the "cavaliers" or "royalists". The King's Army currently has seven regiments under its control and the Roundhead Association has thirteen. There are regiments of "foote", which are common foot soldiers and are armed with pike or musket; regiments of "horse", which are groups on horseback and armed with swords and carbines; and regiments of artillery armed with cannon of various sizes.^{[citation needed]}
