Scotland
Charles was crowned King of Scotland at Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh. After he had been crowned, he demanded that the new English Prayer Book were to be used in Scottish Churches.
This was a very big mistake.
The Scots were more anti-Catholic than the English and many of them were Puritan (an extreme branch of Protestantism). There were riots in Scotland against the new service and Charles was forced to raise an army to fight against the Scots.
Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, set out for the Scottish border with a makeshift army. However, the army mutinied and the Scots seized English land. The Scots demanded a daily rate be paid until a satisfactory treaty was put in place.
The English Army was defeated and Charles agreed to pay £850 per day until the matter was settled.
He did not have that much money!
