Abstract
The article explores the history of the National Covenant in Scotland and dissatisfaction with the rule of king Charles I. The author reflects on a commitment by the Covenanting Movement to a presbyterian system of church government in response to the imposition of Anglican forms of worship. Topics discussed include patterns of allegiance, family enmity, the Solemn League of the Covenant, and civil war.
