Despite being attacked by his critics as ‘the wisest fool in Christendom’, James VI & I oversaw a flourishing of literary culture in both England and Scotland throughout his reign. Acceding to the Scottish throne following the forced abdication of his mother, Mary, Queen of Scots in 1567, the infant James VI was educated by a group of tutors led by the historian George Buchanan. While he often faced harsh beatings during his schooling, James was imbued with a lifelong passion for literature and learning. Upon reaching his majority in 1584, James began to publish—often anonymously—poetry and treatises on a range of subjects including: meditations on biblical passages, the nature of kingship (True Law of Free Monarchies, 1598), the Divine Right of Kings (Basilikon Doron, 1599) and witchcraft (Daemonologie, 1597). As the King wrote his pieces in Scots, many of his works were anglicised by the editor Thomas Waldegrave when they were published in London once it became likely that James would succeed the ageing Elizabeth I.
