Calvinist Wild Men is a derogatory term used within radical episcopalian circles to describe the Covenanters and their supporters whose revolt led to the Cromwellian interregnum.
Sometimes also called Scottish Wild Men though the term "Calvinist Wild Men" seems to refer to all members of the Calvinist movement that opposed King Charles, including the English and both commoners and nobles and members of Parliament.
