ABSTRACT
After the hundred noblemen and gentlemen were marched out of Preston to London, they left behind more than a thousand others who had followed them into rebellion. Many of these men were Scots, both linguistically and sartorially distinct from the English prisoners, and bound by different ties of loyalty to their superiors than those Englishmen who followed Derwentwater and Forster. Importantly, many of them were Protestant, not Presbyterian, but Episcopalians, who could call on the friendly offices of Scots in Scotland and in the government in London to aid them with money, legal advice and influence.
