James VI/I faced real logistics problems because, back then, he couldn’t get on zoom or Skype to talk to followers in Scotland and them happy. He had to rely upon handwritten letters delivered by presumably loyal couriers. It’s difficult to fathom, compared to today’s technological world, the problems that caused him.

Hey can you do a video about the great famine & darkness from 1315 to 1320? According to accounts people ate theirs kids, dugged dead people to eat rotten flesh, cooked robber and their shoes to eat, ate all grass in many towns and the horrors just kept getting worse

I'm just curious (and Canadian so I don't know much about Royalty lol), but is the Charles Spencer here the brother to Princess Diana? Great video! I'm fascinated with the history of that time!

Yes.

I had to take a college course about Stuart England. The only thing I remember from the course is that James and the Duke of Buckingham were lovers.

That’s a rumor. Allegedly; his estranged mother Mary sought to defame him with fraudulent paintings showing him as a homosexual because of her hatred for Protestants. He was apparently very close friends with a man, and they would share a bed at times. However, sharing a a bed could have been a way to stay warm. I don’t know either way, but I will tell you that it’s obvious historians hate him and the Bible he commissioned. So I’m inclined to think it’s a defamation attempt.

To the Victor goes the history

How are you going to cover the reign of King James I without discussing the Border Reivers and how a brutal diaspora was forced upon them by the crown?

@John Smith can you post 600 years of family lineage?

Calling the conspirators of the Gunpowder Plot religious fanatics but not calling James one as well is definitely one-sided. Given his obsession with witches and Christianity over-all I'd say he was a greater fanatic.

Not really. James I/VI mercilessly persecuted those accused of witchcraft. He even wrote a book on the subject.

@@soonerproud James was a victim of terror tactics by the scottish Presbytyrian Kirk. He was paranoid and suspicious, fear fostered by brutal tutors who beat him. Remember, as a child his mum was in prison, his dad was killed. Possibly on the orders of his mum! A terrified child given power. The witch trials were terrible. Berwick abd pendle. But later as he was confronted with facts and saw for himself the lies behind the accusatikns, he changed his views. A pitiful man

I am part of the Stewart clan, the clan started after 1066 in Scotland. They were originally from Brittany, not Iberia. The term Jacobites means followers of James. I would love if they were of African descent, but alas, it is not so. I do have Neandertal dna, but no African that I am aware of.
