The main article for this category is Covenanter.

Articles related to the Covenanters, members of a 17th-century Scottish religious and political movement, who supported a Presbyterian Church of Scotland, informally referred to as the Kirk, and the primacy of its leaders in religious affairs. It originated in disputes with James VI and his son Charles I over church organisation and doctrine, but expanded into political conflict over the limits of Royal authority. In 1638, thousands of Scots signed the National Covenant, pledging to resist changes imposed by Charles on the Kirk. The subsequent 1639 and 1640 Bishops' Wars resulted in the Covenanters taking control of the Scottish government.
