52. Civil War Coming! Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh

In this podcast we’re teetering on the brink of a war that would rip the three kingdoms apart. In what is one of the most significant moments in Scottish history the National Covenant was born. King Charles I of England and Scotland, an imperious and domineering monarch, went heat to head with the Presbyterian Scots who were in no mood to listen to new ideas, not even from a king.Riots and rebellion swept the country and the King found himself at war with the nation. A resounding clash of religious faiths, a ground-breaking document, rebellion and a blood-soaked island. Sign up to Neil Oliver on Patreon to get exclusive access to New Videos Every Week and to help support this podcast.https://www.patreon.com/neiloliverThe series Instagram account is – Neil Oliver Love Letter Hosted on Acast.
