Knights

Japanese: 騎士党 - きしとう

The name was given to supporters of the King during the Puritan Revolution in England. It was named after the fact that many of them were nobles of the rank of knight or higher. They were supported by Catholics as well as Anglicans, and their support base was in the north and west, but they were defeated in the civil war. They returned to power with the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, and the following year they held a majority in Parliament, so they were called the "Knightly Parliament."

Japanese:

英国，ピューリタン革命における国王支持者の別称。騎士以上の貴族が多かったことからの命名。国教徒のほかカトリック教徒も加わり，北部と西部が支持基盤であったが，内乱には敗北。1660年の王政復古によって返り咲き，翌年の議会は彼らが多数を占めたため，〈騎士〉議会と呼ばれた。
