Ironsides

a name popularly applied to the regiment of a thousand horse which Cromwell raised mainly in the E. counties for service against the king early in the great Civil War. The name, already given for his bravery to an English king, Edmund, was first attached to Cromwell himself, but passed to the men at whose head he first appeared at Edge hill.
