About this product

Product Information

The book discusses James's enigmatic and controversial relations with his ill-fated mother, his marriage to a Danish princess, his authorship of many books, his extensive knowledge of witchcraft, and his life-long wish to be acknowledged as successor to Elizabeth I. It traces how, after reigning for 36 years, he eventually became a successful King of Scotland, and how in England his reign of 22 years was marked by a love of peace and hatred of war. It was his initiative that inspired the translation of the Authorized Version of the Bible, and his far-seeing advocacy that encouraged the intimate union of his native country with England.
