What this indicates is that, at the time of struggles between supporters of the Presbyterian Covenant and the Church and Crown of England, when many Scottish nobles and members of the gentry espoused the Presbyterian cause, George actively supported the Covenanters' uprising against the monarchy and its imposed episcopacy.
The Battle of Bothwell Bridge in June 1679 saw some 4,000-5,000 Covenanters fight against Charles II's forces commanded by the Duke of Monmouth, resulting in a resounding defeat for the rebels.
Following the Treaty of Union in 1707, which saw the legislative union of the country with England and Wales, Scotland was to some small degree compensated for the loss of its independence by the right to trade in England's colonies, being now legally part of "Great Britain".
