King James VI of Scotland, I of England by Antonia Fraser
When King James VI of Scotland inherited the throne of England in 1603 he had ruled his native land almost as long as had Queen Elizabeth. He showed both vision and determination in pursuing his major political goals: a united Britain, and a foreign policy based on peace rather than bellicose chauvinism. Of course, there was a darker side: in the face of growing Parliamentary opposition, he would need all his celebrated wisdom to prevent open conflict. This book is a sympathetic portrait of a worthy first king of Great Britain.Love and Louis XIV, Marie Antoinette (which was adapted into a film by Sofia Coppola), The Wives of Henry VIII, Mary Queen of Scots, Faith and Treason: The Tale of the Gunpowder Plot, and Perilous Question: Reform or Revolution? are among Antonia Fraser's numerous worldwide bestselling historical writings. She's also the author of the book Do You Have to Go? She has won the Wolfson Award for History, the Norton Medlicott Medal of the British Historical Association in 2000, and the Enid McLeod Literary Prize of the Franco-British Society. In 2011, she was named a Dame of the British Empire for her contributions to literature.
