James VI and I (Profiles in Power) [Paperback]

Roger Lockyer (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0582279615 | ISBN-13: 978-0582279612 | Publication Date: July 1998

Roger Lockyer presents an objective assessment of James VI and I who traditionally has been viewed critically as both man and monarch. Recent research has exposed the bias in many of the most influential, contemporary sources, and highlighted his positive achievements as ruler. This is the first serious study accessible to a student as well as a scholarly readership to incorporate these views. In the process Roger Lockyer throws light on the major themes of early seventeenth century history including religion, royal relations with political institutions and the divine right of kings.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a well-written, modestly-priced book, which does add a further dimension to a much-debated reign. This would be a useful addition to school libraries and to the teaching of Scottish and British history of the period." "History teaching review yearbook", 1999
