Charles raised an army from the English militia, marched north and then raised those who had signed the covenant; the covenanters were too small for him. Oliver Cromwell was suspected as treason.
THE INCIDENT The cause for the imbalance was that the Scottish Kirk was Presbyterian and always had used different church services from those in England. Charles I wanted all of his people to pray for the same religion. In 1637, Charles ordered the Scots to use a new prayer book like the one in England. The congregation rioted and hurled wooden stools and sticks at the priests. The war was from 1642-51 where the royalists and parliamentarians went to war.
