James IV

James IV was one of Scotland's greatest Kings. His reign saw the full flowering of the Renaissance in Scotland - in architecture, in literature, and in art. For a brief period Scotland ranked among the great powers of Europe. This book details both James' reign and the richness and vibrancy of Scottish life and culture at that time. It fully acknowledges the importance of the Highlands in Scottish life (James was the last Gaelic-speaking monarch of Scotland).
