This is an academic read and not a light romp down a historical lane. Not to excuse his actions, I'm not sure but that I would be less than thrilled with a relative who starved my sibling to death and allowed me to be held in captivity for 16 years, taking over the lands that would have provided the funds for clothing, household goods, and pay for the household small though it was. Nor was James I interested in being a sidelined in a Stewart castle somewhere like Robert II and Robert III while a relative was an uncrowned King of Scots with an eye to becoming king. Uneasy is the head that wears the crown with grasping magnates all around! ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Whether viewed as a lawgiver, tyrant or martyr, James I has cast a long shadow over the history of Scotland. Michael Brown's biography, the first full-length study in over fifty years, concludes that despite its apparent glamour and power, James I's `golden age' had shallow roots: after a life of drastically swinging fortunes, he met his end in a violent coup, a victim of his own methods.
