Chapter 15 · Family life Why were many of those who chose to die for their beliefs during Scotland's "killing times" women? |
Many Scottish women were not afraid to stand up to both their husbands and the government on matters of personal belief. They stood up to their husbands because the Protestants put extra responsibility on the head of the family for its spiritual welfare. Meaning that wife and children belonged to him, mind , body and soul. Absolute obedience was expected. Disobedience was considered an act against God as well as the head of the house. One result of this increase in the father's authority was that from the early seventeenth century children were frequently beaten to break their "sinful" will.
