| Description: | Select Guide Rating When Charles-I came to the throne in 1625 he began to make changes in the way Scotland was run, including the introduction of a prayer book. He imposed cruel punishments that were inflicted on the protesters who became known as the 'Covenanters'. This Scottie series title explains the complex subject of the Covenanters for children of 10+. When Charles-I came to the throne in 1625 he began to make changes in the way Scotland was run, including the introduction of a new prayer book. He believed that a king was given his position by God and that no one had the right to question his actions, so when protests were made and a document known as ''The National Covenant'' was drawn up, cruel punishments were inflicted on the protesters who became known as the ''Covenanters''. This brand-new title in the "Scotties Series" explains the complex topic of the Covenanters to children - it will also be a useful introduction to the subject for adults. "Scotties Books" contain a wealth of interesting facts, stimulating activities, websites and suggestions for places to visit. |
