Gareth Russell: Queen James: The Life and Loves of Britain’s First King

Elizabeth was King, then James was Queen – English author (1603)

James Stuart, King of England, Scotland and Ireland did not always love wisely, but he never failed to love boldly. Three loves – including George Villiers, ‘the handsomest man in the whole world’ – plus three infatuations.

The six wives of Henry VIII …
why not the six loves of James I?

This groundbreaking book by Gareth Russell, puts James – genius, liar, witch-hunter – and the men he loved at the dramatic centre of British royal history.

From his father’s mysterious murder and his mother’s beheading, poison, witch-trials and espionage, to a love affair that ended in assassination, this is one of the most gripping stories in British history, retold now in Queen James with scholarship, biographical insight and wit.
