Pike & Shotte Epic Battles: Scots Covenanters Battalia 

 

 

The Covenanters were the Scots who signed the National Covenant in 1638, opposing King Charles I's interference in religious affairs when he attempted to impose changes on the Scottish Church. Although they sided with Parliament during the civil wars, they never intended to remove King Charles from power, as they supported the royal line and would later fight against Parliament in support the Stuarts. The Covenant army was well equipped and motivated. It was led by officers who had served in the Thirty Years' War and looked imposing in its Hodden gray uniforms.
