18. Gareth Russell: Queen James
James Stuart was many things: King of England, Scotland and Ireland, genius, liar, witch-hunter, spendthrift, idealist, and lover. Though he did not always love wisely, he never failed to do so boldly. He fell in love three times – with a Scottish lord, a knight and George Villiers, ‘the handsomest man in the whole world’. He was infatuated three more times – with a Highland earl, a Welsh lord and an English spy. Historian Gareth Russell shares the dramatic life and loves of King James I, bringing the power struggles and backbiting of the Jacobean court to life.
