Her most controversial work, a book-length critique of Mary, Queen of Scots, garnered significant attention and sparked intense debates. Regrettably, Jenny's untimely death in 2015 prevented her from completing a similar monograph on a monarch she held in even greater admiration: King James VI and I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo fill this gap, this volume presents a comprehensive collection of Jenny's major essays on James. Spanning various aspects and pivotal events of James's reign, including the infamous Gunpowder Plot, the Plantation of Ulster, the Gowrie Conspiracy, and the witchcraft panics, Jenny's writings offer a deep insight into the king's life and rule. She delved extensively into James's Scottish reign, but her interests extended beyond Scotland, as she explored James's role as the first king of all of Britain, navigating the complexities of the Union of the Crowns and his rule over three kingdoms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book serves as an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to delve deeper into this crucial period in the history of the British Isles. Jenny Wormald's insightful analysis and comprehensive coverage provide a rich tapestry of knowledge, shedding light on the complexities and challenges of the early modern era. Her legacy continues to inspire and inform future generations of historians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1006g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 170 x 242 x 48 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781910900253\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jenny Wormald","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44096142115066,"sku":"9781910900253","price":83.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/ed74ac53b9f4c6e9022208460289a044.jpg?v=1636950978","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/james-vi-and-i-collected-essays-by-jenny-wormald","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
