description: James the Sixth made only one return to his native land after succeeding to Elizabeths throne. In 1617 he came north to Scotland and initiated one of the most extraordinary three months in that ancient kingdoms history, a comedy-drama of misadventure, misunderstanding and disaster. John Stewart of Methven, grandson of the Master of Gray and distant relation to the King, was commanded to return with James and found himself mixed up in some distinctly murky ongoings in a war of wits with the Queen and her ladies, the merchant-princes of the City and the influential Howard faction.
