The Approaching Storm: An Overview of Scottish Presbyterian History -- Part Seven The Approaching Storm: An Overview of Scottish Presbyterian History -- Part Seven Following the outbreak of civil war in England between Parliament and Charles I (1642) and the ratification of the Solemn League and Covenant (1643) by which Scotland aided the Parliamentary army against the Royalist troops, the winds of the storm seemed to be settling on the horizon. In 1644, the Parliamentary army, led by Oliver Cromwell, along with the Scottish forces, were now able to turn back their series of losses by means of a decisive victory over Royalist troops at Marston Moor in Yorkshire. And even when Charles gained a Scottish ally in James Graham, Earl of Montrose, who turned to regain Scotland for the king, the Covenanter army, under David Leslie, was finally able to defeat this strongest remaining royalist band at Philiphaugh (1645). Graham and his small band of Scottish royalists did not oppose the Solemn League and Covenant but did oppose those who wanted the Covenant in the place of the king. Nevertheless, with the loss at Philiphaugh, it seemed that all hope for the king was finally lost.
