Influential writings on the monarchy and divine right of kings by James VI of Scotland and I of England.
'This important volume is the culmination of many years' work on King James … In his meticulous, profoundly-researched analysis the author does not persuade that James's political and religious strategy was realistic in his time: he does compel us to admire both the king's pertinacity and the quality of his ecumenical vision.'
