The Covenanter Army of the Scots

oliver cromwell was promoted to lord general, and he started marching north with 16 thousand men. charles had arrived in scotland on june third and immediately got into a small tiff with the covenanters over his enterage. Most of them were unreconstructed english royalists who had no truck with scottish presbyterianism whatsoever. But not wanting to alienate the scots right out of the chute, charles dismissed any one they objected to,. Then he signed the solemn league and covenant, which he himself almost certainly did not believe in or support. In any way.
