In the 17th century the most common form of cavalry were known as harquebusiers, named after the harquebus (carbine). The "standard" harquebusier with lobster pot helmet, buff coat, breast and back armour is most closely associated with the Parliamentary army and, in particular, Oliver Cromwell and the New Model Army. However, harquebusiers fought on both sides of the English Civil War and were often differentiated by the colour of the sash that was frequently worn.

Reviews
The print design is excellent – surprisingly vibrant. Including a lobster-tailed pot helmet (designed by Loongbrick) gives it a proper English Civil War look, and is well worth the small extra cost attached to the minifig. It would have been nice to get a slightly more detailed face print, considering UB’s great designs on other 🏴 Civil War minifigure faces, but it’s a small complaint. It’s still early in 2026, but this may end up being my favourite UB of the year!
The minifigure has the same qualities as its Parliamentary counterpart, incredibly beautiful, unique, colorful and a treasure trove of history that will delight history buffs and curious people like me about the history of England in the 17th century.
This year has been a treat for collectors of United Bricks English Civil War range. The Royalist Cavalryman is another of the newest releases that captures all the beautiful printing that one would expects to see in the uniform that was common for both sides with only the sash showing fealty/loyalty to each side. An absolute delight to have in the collection and would recommend this minifigure. The cavalry lobster pot is a great addition for the period.
