Summary
This volume traces the impact of the Union of the Crowns on Scotland and follows the religious and political struggle that grew under James VI and Charles I. It covers disputes over episcopacy, the new liturgy, the rise of Covenanting opposition, the framing and spread of the Covenant, and the opening stages of conflict involving the Scottish Parliament, the English Parliament, and royal authority. The contents also include the Westminster Assembly and the adoption of the Westminster Confession of Faith, alongside Montrose’s campaigns and later negotiations over the king.
