Roundhead

Sponsorship the way you would do it
The Roundheads (or Parliamentarians) were the Puritans under Oliver Cromwell in the English Civil War. They were the Protestants, and the largely Anglican Royalists on the other side were the Cavaliers.

They were so named because of the round helmets they wore.
