Rebel Covernanters 

In 1679 a rebbeilion occuried in Lowland Scotland.  After years of religious persecution by an authoritarian state who had tried to force religious change on the Scotish people, tension grew and free religion was being convened by covernanters in the open countryside but surrounded by there own armed guards  There were two battles, Drumclog was a large skirmish where the Royal dragoons were put to flight.  There were also battles within Glasgow when it was occupied by the Covernanters.  The second and largest was a battle was at Bothwell bridge near Glasgow where the rebels were eventually defeated by the Royalist goverenment soldiers. The Covernanters spent more time on religious questions than on the outcome of the battle! 

Flags were used, some old ECW flags in the campaign at skirmishes at Drumclog and Glasgow and at the final battle at Bothwell Bridge where the Covernanter forces were defeated.  Strangley, he leader of the English forces was James Scott, The Duke of Monmouth !

Prior to the Covernanter Rebelion but part of it there had been a previous uprising in Lowland Scotland in 1666.  A large army of disidents formed and marched on Edinburgh hoping to gain further support.  Close to Edinburgh and realising that more recruits were not coming they turned away south and camped for the night at Rullion Green in the Pentland Hills.  A Royal advance force of Cavalry which had been pursuing them, caught them there and a battle occuried.  The rebels, mainly on foot withstood two charges by the goverment cavalry and only on the third did they break and flee off into the gathering darkness
