James I: History in Fifteen Minutes
language
( Nov. 21, 2014)
This is the third volume in the new ‘History in Fifteen Minutes’ series.
Designed for first-time readers; ‘History in Fifteen Minutes’ gives you the primary facts about the life and times of James I, one of England’s most intellectual monarchs. He supported the Church of England, survived the Gunpowder Plot and saw the Pilgrim Fathers sail to the Americas.
James was the first Stuart monarch, nicknamed the 'Wisest Fool in Christendom’. He understood the dangers of tobacco and in 1604 wrote a book entitled 'A Counterblaste to Tobacco', but he did not realise that the Divine Right of Kings was an outdated belief.
This work includes sections on:
• Who was James I?
• James’ Early Life
• James’ Accession
• Sir Walter Raleigh
• The Gunpowder Plot
• James’ Favourites
• James and Parliament
• James and the Puritans
• The Pilgrim Fathers
• James’ Death
