When your coalition has to span Covenanters to Levellers, weird shit happens.

The tension point being, inevitably, Ireland.

Lookit, they can have their own thread. Unless they are former Covenanters and dissenters. That lot are alright.

20 minute neighbourhoods need spaces for wildlife, says Mr Heron.

Other way round, since the covenanters were still royalist.

I think that’s the point: the Covenanters eventually aligned with the Royalists like how the Chinese did with the Americans

i keep coming back to the ubiquity of political messianism in the early modern era. in mainland europe you have the taborites, savonarola, whatever the fuck munster was up to. in britain you have the covenanters, the diggers, the 5th monarchists. cromwell lets us back in for accelerationist reasons

Cromwell is invading Scotland and the club today. The Covenanters march out to face them. Scourge of Princes rules in 15mm.

"Ah yes, the Civil War, the cavaliers, the roundheads, the covenanters, the confederates..."

"Yes, yes, wait, what who, what the hell?"

Still playing our War of the 3 nations campaign. It's the end of 1642 and there is a battle in Ireland. Covenants, besieged by Royalists and their Irish allies, attempt to break out of Belfast to reach a small Parliamentarian force sent to help them.

It's the War of Three Kingdoms and Covenanters like any normal person

Callie's Port, Back Bay, Monreith. The caves here were once hiding places for both smugglers and covenanters.

The Pentland Hills looking fantastic last weekend & just a wee bus ride from #Edinburgh city centre. Hills are Turnhouse & Carnethy & in trees below the peaks is site of Battle of Rullion Green (1666) 'tween Covenanters & government troops led by Tam Dalyell of The Binns.

Spot the 3 deer.

A slight detour this morning by starting a unit of Scots Covenanters from @warlordgames.com The fancy took me to see if I can work on one unit a time.

Primed grey, shaded and highlighted white, to use contrast type paints mostly.

The skin took about 20 mins, we'll see.

the scottish covenanters inviting king charles over was typologically the same thing as maoist china dealing with the americans because they hated the soviets

The Wigtown Martyrs Memorial, Stirling, by Alexander Handyside Ritchie, 1859.

Sisters Margaret and Agnes Wilson, aged 18 and 13, and Margaret McLauchlan, in her late 60s, were Presbyterian covenanters opposed to religious reforms of Charles II. 1/2

and the story of the Covenanters as a grassroots movement is objectively interesting - however odd it may seem to the modern eye this is the first major /mass/ mobilisation of the Scottish populace towards a cause
