Scotland
Scottish nobles signed a document saying they would defend the King

  • Charles wanted support in Scotland and wanted the Scottish army to leave Newcastle so he agreed to get rid of bishops in Scotland, which pleased the nobility

The 'Incident'

  • Charles was now in Scotland
  • Scottish Covenanters had heard there was a royalist plot to kidnap their leaders; Charles claimed to know nothing of this plot and turned up at the Scottish Parliament with hundreds of soldiers to 'prove it'
  • The plot, and Charles' reaction to it, ruined his chances
