The 1661 English general election returned a majority of members in support of Charles II of England. This Parliament was called the Cavalier Parliament, since many of the MPs elected were former Cavaliers or the sons of Cavaliers.
Yet during the course of the Cavalier Parliament, there was considerable movement between the Cavaliers and the Roundheads.
