David Mathew's book, Scotland under Charles I, published in 1955, offers a detailed, balanced survey of Scotland during Charles I's reign, exploring its complex religious (Calvinism vs. Anglicanism), political (Scottish polity, Covenanters), and social structures, from powerful families like the Gordons to the developing conflict leading to the National Covenant. It's considered a significant work for understanding Scotland's distinct identity and challenges to the English monarchy, providing context beyond caricature.
