Committee of Both Kingdoms

The Committee of Both Kingdoms was established in England in 1645 during the English Civil War. It was a joint assembly formed by the Parliament and the Covenanters from Scotland, aiming to coordinate military efforts against King Charles I. The committee sought to unify both forces under a common cause, establish a Presbyterian church structure, and negotiate political agreements. It played a crucial role in the war's progression by aligning the interests of the English Parliament with those of the Scottish Covenanters, ultimately influencing the outcome of the conflict and the future of governance in Britain.
