Scottish rebel against English Prayer Book
The congregation rise up against the imposition of the Scottish Episcopal Book of Common Prayer as demanded by King Charles I and Archbishop Laud. Jenny Geddes, a Scottish market-trader in Edinburgh throws her stool at the Minister (the Arch-Prelate of St. Andrews) in disgust at St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh on Sunday 23 July 1637. She is supposed to have cried: " Devil cause you colic in your stomach, false thief: dare you say the Mass in my ear?".
