The True Law of Free Monarchies and Basilikon Doron (Tudor and Stuart Texts)

The unique writing of James I are more often known of than known and read. This is in large measure because they are not available in adequately annotated, modernized, and affordable editions. This volume in the new series Tudor and Stuart Texts rectifies this situation. Readers will find that these texts are of interest on any number of counts, shedding considerable light on the mind of personality of James VI and I, who ascended the Scottish throne upon the deposition of his mother, Mary Queen of Scots, and the English throne with the death of Elizabeth I.
