The Scottish Covenanters were 17th century Presbyterians who objected to the Stewart monarchs attempts to establish an Episcopalian/Roman Catholic style of Church government on the Scottish people. They drew up a "National Covenant" in 1638 outlining the fact that they would be loyal subjects to the King in Civil matters, but only Jesus Christ could be head of the Church and not the King. They were severally persecuted for this by the Stewart Kings for this with a conservative number of 18,000 being killed during the late 1600's.
