After eighteen years in English captivity, James I negotiates his release, marries Joan Beaufort and returns to Scotland in 1424. The crown he inherits is weakened by the long rule of the Albany Stewarts, powerful regional lords and institutions accustomed to governing without their king.

James attempts to restore royal finance, justice and parliamentary authority while plots and rebellions gather around relatives who regard reform as confiscation. His marriage offers personal support, but the methods required to recover the crown’s power threaten to create the enemies who may ultimately destroy him.
