King James I follows James VI of Scotland as he inherited the English throne in 1603 and united the crowns under one monarch. It examines his ideas of kingship, relations with Parliament, religious policy and the court culture associated with favourites and patronage.

The biography covers the Gunpowder Plot, the King James Bible and efforts to avoid expensive continental war. It also considers James’s family politics and the financial and constitutional tensions that his son Charles I would inherit.
