Question

This movement purged many of its best officers before its army was shattered in a nighttime cavalry attack, leading radicals within this movement to call for even more purges in the Western Remonstrance. A controversial historiographical term for this movement’s repression was coined by Robert Wodrow. The riots that became this movement began when a woman threw a stool during a church service (15[1])over the imposition of a new prayer book. (-5[2])This movement’s hardline Whiggamores split with the (*) Engagers, who launched an invasion that (10[1])ended in disaster at the Battle of Preston. This target (10[1])of the “Killing Times” came to power during the Bishops’ Wars, after which it dispatched a force under Alexander Leslie to lead the Army (10[1])of Both Kingdoms. For 10 points, Charles I surrendered to what Scottish Presbyterian movement, (10[1])named for the signing of a (10[1])“National” agreement? ■END■ (10[1]0[3])

ANSWER: Covenanters [or Cùmhnantaich; accept the National Covenant; accept The Solemn League and Covenant; accept Covenantism; prompt on the Kirk Party; prompt on Scottish Presbyterians until read; prompt on Whiggamores until read; prompt on Engagers until read; prompt on Scottish royalists until “Robert” is read; reject “Scottish independence”; reject “Scottish Reformation”] (The first clue refers to the Battle of Dunbar.)
