From Settlement to Superpower
Episode 55 – Basilikon Doron
This episode concludes our discussion James VI/I as King of Scotland, and covers his final victory over the Kirk. We talk about the Edinburgh Riots and how James turned that chaos to his advantage, the story of the Bold Buccleuch's daring raid on Carlisle Castle and James' response, and the political philosophy held by James in 1603, when he finally inherited the English throne from Elizabeth.
