Queen James: A New History About the Life and Loves of Britain’s First King, James Stuart |
This is a very human approach to the male and female loves, some sexual, of King James, a rather over-looked monarch. It is packed with the results of detailed research, recounted in an accessible, sometimes humorous, fashion. My original interest was James’ connection to my adopted home town, Royston, but most interesting was the epilogue, explaining James’ influence on the British monarchy, through to the present.
