Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details James VI's sole visit to Scotland after his accession to the English throne. Despite the tremendous labor and forethought that went into preparing for his arrival, James's Scottish progress was less memorable than his journey towards London 14 years earlier. This book reminds the reader why. The author provides an array of documentation and sources from the period, including fascinating details from the Privy Council of Scotland about the challenges of preparing the roads, royal accommodations, and the suppression of vagrants. The author explores the difficulties faced by authorities in enforcing a close time for game and suppressing the nuisance of beggars. Additionally, this book sheds light on the king's wardrobe and the efforts made to furnish his accommodations. The author delves into the dilemmas associated with arranging transport for the king's baggage, revealing the logistical challenges of such a large retinue and the lengths to which the authorities went to ensure a smooth journey. This book provides a unique and engaging account of the Scottish progress of James VI, offering insights into the complexities of royal travel and the social and political landscape of Scotland in the 17th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
