Cavalier was the name used by Parliamentarians for a Royalist supporter of King Charles I and son Charles II during the English Civil War, the Interregnum, and the Restoration (1642 – c. 1679). Prince Rupert, commander of much of Charles I's cavalry, is often considered an archetypical Cavalier.
Cavalier derives from the same Latin root as the French word chevalier (as well as the Spanish word caballero), the Vulgar Latin word caballarius, meaning “horseman”. Shakespeare used the word cavaleros to describe an overbearing swashbuckler or swaggering gallant in Henry IV, Part 2, in which Shallow says "I'll drink to Master Bardolph, and to all the cavaleros about London."
"Cavalier" is chiefly associated with the Royalist supporters of King Charles I in his struggle with Parliament in the English Civil War. It first appears as a term of reproach and contempt, applied to the followers of King Charles I during the summer of 1642:
Charles, in the Answer to the Petition June 13, 1642 speaks of Cavaliers as a "word by what mistake soever it seemes much in disfavour". It was soon reappropriated (as a title of honour) by the king's party, who in return applied Roundhead to their opponents, and at the Restoration the court party preserved the name, which survived till the rise of the term Tory.

Plot: Maria Montez was accorded top billing in this film by contractual agreement, although she is in the picture only long enough to take a bath in a tricky 17th century bathtub while sipping coffee with Charles Stuart and delivering dialogue in a barely-understandable French-accent. This is the second major film released within a short period with King Charles II as a primary character, and Charles here and Charles (George Sanders) in "Forever Amber" are two very varied approaches to the same character. This one takes place prior to the beginning of "Forever Amber" when Charles II and his followers are hiding out in Holland from Oliver Cromwell's puritan Round Heads. Being temporarily at liberty (or unemployed), Charles takes a day job at the farm/estate of Katie, and falls in love with her. Meanwhile he eludes his enemies by agility, enterprise and sword play, some of the latter performed while riding the blades of a Dutch windmill. He is summoned back to the throne and has to leave Katie and the tulips behind, returns to England, is replaced by George Sanders who pursues Amber St. Clair and forgets all about Katie. "The Exile" and "Forever Amber" should be viewed back-to-back for maximum-contrast enjoyment.

I was a hole in the middle, you was waking up fast
It was 4 in the morning, she s holding on tight
To a day, bow and look alive,
Circle 85
Now he s turning up, his amplify
Staring at his toes,
The way he s looking at you
He s still looking at his nose
Sounds like surf music maybe more than just a little
To me it s just another for California dribble
Talking bout the strange... in the middle, oh
[Chorus]
Well there s something to be
Learned here, the way it may seem
A little insincere,
Like they cool clown grin
Hear the, hear your country singer
I m a cavalier
Well I wanna know the whole story of the way
You came from where you going
How ever long it takes to know you
When your heavy metal heart beat
Tippy toes above feet, rocking till the team be
Well ice cream, soda pop, burning on the top
Some people call it rock and roll some people call it pop
Sounds like country music every time you use the fiddle
How am I supposed to know if that s a fact or just a riddle
Keep tied around the edges and leave a little on the window
[Chorus]
Well there s something to be
Learned here, the way it may seem
A little insincere,
Like they cool clown grin
Hear the, hear your country singer
I m a cavalier
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oho, oh oh oho
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oho, oh oh oho
[Chorus]
Well there s something to be
Learned here, the way it may seem
A little insincere,
Like they cool clown grin
Hear the, hear your country singer
