For ‘famously’ read ‘allegedly’, in my view. The ‘evidence’ concerning Buchanan’s schooling of James VI has been much misunderstood.

Chamberlain’s letters are great. Thanks for sharing. Tripping on the stairs needn’t mean James was tipsy, of course, and the existence of the newsletter suggests that the fall was not covered up.

It’s wonderful public interest in James VI & I’s life and reign is rising, AND that readers can turn to several new books about him.📚
Here are Steven Veerapen, Clare Jackson, Steven Reid and me discussing our man; Laura Stewart chairing.

James VI of Scotland became Elizabeth’s successor peacefully and was welcomed into England, people’s ‘eyes flaming nothing but sparks of affection’ towards him (as he put it).
There was no better supported claimant; no one with a stronger claim.

Thank you, Neil. This is most kind! I really enjoy that moment of Jacobean political psalmody!

Did the dying Elizabeth I signal that she approved of James VI as her successor? Who knows?! What matters is the story’s meaning.
It’s well known that accounts were circulated by English officials as a supplementary argument for James’s lawful claim.

Cynthia Fry’s thesis is marvellous - a must-read.
My view is that, yes, the succession was his great goal - not his ‘single’ goal as he didn’t have that luxury.
He was ‘bovvered’ but he was also adept at not making his ‘face look bovvered’!
(One for discussion on BBC Breakfast 🤔?!)

Q. Who had the strongest claim to succeed Elizabeth I? Answer: James VI (as was widely accepted at the time).
Here, though, is the succession according to an opponent of James’s claim, Robert Persons, in 1594/5. An elaborate effort to muddy the waters.

Many congratulations to my colleague Emily Vine on the publication of her first monograph! 🎉🥳
Emily expertly explores the crowded metropolis as a place where households of different faiths coexisted during a period of intense change (1605-1780).
