Description: "This book explores the personality of James I, King of Great Britain, in the context of the complex issues of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Key topics are presented through primary source material, and critical questions are raised. What progress was made in the union of Scotland and England during the reign of James I? To what extent was there a revolution in English foreign policy during the last years of his reign? Was money the root of all evil between James I and his parliaments? Is it fair to judge that James I was 'the wisest fool in Christendom'?"--BOOK JACKET.
