December 1602: The formidable ruler has become a dithering old woman. The kingdom has been weakened by the cost of war with Spain and the simmering discontent of both the rich and the poor. Elizabeth's senior relative, James VI of Scotland, is a foreigner and a Stuart, excluded from the throne under English law. Around the old queen and the new king swirl a cast of unforgettable characters. We witness the scheming of courtiers for the candidates of their choice, and the widespread fear that civil war, invasion, or revolution will follow the monarch's death; and we are given intimate insights into political power plays and psychological portraits relevant to our own era.--From publisher description. 000313360 60000 $$aJames$$bI,$$cKing of England,$$d1566-1625. 000313360 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xHistory$$yJames I, 1603-1625. 000313360 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xKings and rulers$$vBiography. 000313360 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xKings and rulers$$xSuccession$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000313360 85200 $$bgen$$hDA391$$i.D4$$i2005 000313360 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005050719-b.html 000313360 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005050719-d.html 000313360 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005050719-s.html 000313360 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:313360$$pGLOBAL_SET 000313360 980__ $$aBIB 000313360 980__ $$aBOOK 000313360 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
