Their original, research-based essays on a series of broad and interconnected topics invite us to consider Jacobean kingship afresh.\n\nKing James VI and I [tel] was the first monarch to rule over the three kingdoms of Scotland, England and Ireland. His practice of kingship which often so skilfully played upon, and navigated between, the contradictory expectations of his contemporaries provoked lively debate in his day. Four hundred years after Jamess death, it still does. This book looks again at some of the hottest of the controversies that still define the historiography of the period. With chapters on.
