About this product

Product Information

Covenanting Citizens offers a new take on the origins of the English civil war. The first full study of the Protestation oath, an oath increasingly frequently cited, but often misunderstood by family and local historians, it reveals the radical intentions behind the oath's introduction and challenges the idea that the civil war was an historical accident. Based on original research that marries national and local history, and exploiting the thousands of Protestation returns that survive with upwards of a million names, Covenanting Citizens uses the records and controversies the Protestation created to capture how ordinary men and women responded to the Protestation's challenge, using the experience of having taken the oath to claim a political voice, something otherwise denied them in this period.
