Roundhead's opponent (8)

I believe the answer is:

cavalier

(Other definitions for cavalier that I've seen before include "oblivious to consequences" , "... King Charles, canine breed" , "Roundhead's adversary" , "Horseman" , "... King Charles, spaniel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
