This major study draws on a wide range of sources, assessing James I's impact on his kingdom. Michael Brown examines James's creation of a new, prestigious monarchy based on a series of bloody victories over his rivals and symbolised by lavish spending at court.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe concludes that, despite the apparent power and glamour, James I's 'golden age' had shallow roots; after a life of drastically swinging fortunes, James I was to meet his end in a violent coup, a victim of his own methods. But whether as lawgiver, tyrant or martyr, James I has cast a long shadow over the history of Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Donald Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45034210361495,"sku":"9781906566937","price":2420.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781906566937.webp?v=1769210333","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/james-i-9781906566937","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
