Mountebank History of Scotland #30 - War of the Three Kingdoms

Mar 29, 2021

When civil war broke out in England both the Parliamentarians and the Royalists wanted the support of the Scots Covenanters who despite being ultra-Presbyterian were also very successful, having easily defeated Charles in the 'Bishop Wars' of 1639/40 - they were miserable but successful, like Andy Murray. For many in Scotland the extreme religious policies of the Covenanters went too far and there was a split between the ultra-Presbyterians who supported the English Parliamentarians and the moderates who supported the Royalist forces of Charles I. In 17th century Scotland you had a choice to make, support ultra-Presbyterianism or support the monarchy, it was 'Sophie's Choice' for Rangers supporters.
