From Wikipedia; The English Civil War (1642–1653) produced a subgenre of "Cavalier ballads", including "When the King Home in Peace Again". [90] C. Mackay, ed., The Cavalier Songs and Ballads of England, from 1642 to 1684 (London: R. Griffin, 1863). Many of these were adapted and reused by Jacobites after the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688.
