I am always fascinated by the history of the Scottish Covenanters. As a Reformed Evangelical myself, I owe a lot to these brave men and women who fought zealously for religious fidelity and liberty against a tyrannical rule. They have shown that Christianity should never be subservient to the wiles of a despotic monarch. Thank you for the great infographics and the educational content of your channel! Keep on making these, please? God bless you!
You aren't listening very carefully - they fought to impose their religion on the entire country of Scotland a take away religious freedom from the many who were not Presbyterians.
My father, baptized a Catholic joined the local regiment - the Cameronians. True to their roots as Covenanters they refused to stand during the national anthem - even when stationed at Balmoral. I still hold by his traditions.
You mean the Tudors? Yes. Mary Queen of Scots never tried to impose Catholicism on Scotland, but that didn't stop John Knox from condemning her as a witch.
It's not pronounced Armenianism - that makes it sound like you're referring to Armenians. It's pronounced with a short i sound, not a long e sound. Arminianism, not Armenianism.
Sorry what is that map at 0:08?? it's like some weird English colonial projection lol. Are you aware Ireland is very much a separate island to Britain?
Cant Be Arsed Nah he wasn’t stupid at all, the Parliament was jealous of king since he had more power and influence than them plus he was popular with the people.
As does so much history told with a biased point of view, this makes the assumption that all of Scotland were Presbyterians and they were certainly not. The Covenanters, so often depicted as heroes of religious freedom, sought to impose their religion on the entire country. Was the imposition of an Anglican prayer book cited at Charles I's trial in England which led to his beheading? No, it was not. The premise is highly questionable.
@@TheRab1873 Do you know the numbers of Episcopalians in Scotland in the mid 18th century? There were enough for the British Government to pass Penal Laws against them.
He had Scots and Irish tutors and minders and was surrounded by Scots throughout his childhood. He wore Highland dress in Rome.. You might want to find out some facts about the man before spouting misinformation.

They fought to impose their religion on the government and the population - so imposing their religion on everyone is somehow ok?
It was notable that upon Queen Elizabeth's death Charles' first duty was to confirm the independence of the Church of Scotland.
It's brechin (brie-kin) no breh-chin ya daftie
That was a wonderful video! Professional and informative about little known history (the focus is usually on the English Civil War). Thank you.
Excellent and very interesting.
Thank you
..times like this I like the internet
Stuff is hard to find
Don't lose your head Charles. Oh, wait...
Forcing obedience to the Crown religion doesnt seem out of step with previous Kings.
You mean the Tudors? Yes. Mary Queen of Scots never tried to impose Catholicism on Scotland, but that didn't stop John Knox from condemning her as a witch.
That is what the Hanoverians enforced - there were Penal Laws against Catholics and Episcopalians in Scotland.
@@deborahdennison571 Episcopalian is the same as Anglican or Church of England of which the Hanoverian kings and queens were the head.
Bretch-in?
who is watching this in 2020?
So it seems to me anything to do with Scotland must have annoying unesasery music in the background
Bad music. Very bad spelling !
It's not pronounced Armenianism - that makes it sound like you're referring to Armenians. It's pronounced with a short i sound, not a long e sound. Arminianism, not Armenianism.
But is Arminianism even the right word? Arminius was Dutch and anti-Calvinist. Perhaps the word is Erastianism?
I bought the two volumes! Its wonderful
n Please understand, all we have to do is turn off our connection for ONE day.

Charles 1 was king of all three kingdoms
It's a very old map badly overlaid with colours.
Are you aware that the English monarch was considered Lord of Ireland for centuries?
Pope Alexander the third gave Ireland to the Anglo-Norman (English) king in 1172 and all the Irish bishops apparently approved.
What's the alternative to Arminian? Genevre! (pukes up)
So I guess Charles was a bit dumba stupe

@@Original_Dalvik very dumba stoopido
He was Cliff Richard to Louis XIV's Elvis. It just didn't work.
@@Original_Dalvik Why didn't they behead his dad then: he was Scottish and they were jealous of him?

The majority of Scotland were Presbyterians at this time.

@@deborahdennison571 how many were forced
Charles didn’t understand Scotland and was thick as two short planks. He wasn’t brought up here so had no idea.
He had Scots and Irish tutors and minders and was surrounded by Scots throughout his childhood. He wore Highland dress in Rome.. You might want to find out some facts about the man before spouting misinformation.
All the euphemisms "The English Civil War and "The War of the Three Kingdoms": call it what it was "The British Revolutionary War".
So they felt "British" in that time of tumults just like the Britains in Roman times?
