Presbyterians?

Presbyterians are Calvinists and there are plenty of bloody episodes in Calvinist history, all the way back to John Calvin himself, who participated in the burning at the stake of Michael Servetus, who had the nerve to hold a different opinion about God than John did.

The Parliamentarians who fought and eventually beheaded King Charles I were largely Presbyterians. (Well, the leaders were, initially. It's complicated.)

Wow! Yes of course, I was forgetting the “Calvinist roundheads.” How could I have forgotten that!
