Join Gareth Russell in Falkland Palace's Chapel Royal for an evening of fascinating tales from the life of James VI at this talk, The Power of the FavouriteJames VI is most famous for his alleged love affairs in England, particularly with the Duke of Buckingham. However, his private life when he was in Scotland is just as important - and just as fascinating. Nicknamed ‘Queen James’ in his lifetime, James VI and his favourites helped shape the Scottish monarchy in the late 16th century. There were even rumours that James had fallen in love with an English spy.
In this talk, Gareth Russell, author of the new critically acclaimed biography ‘Queen James,’ explores how power, passion, and plots mixed in James’s court.
