On the 5th November 1605 many men were set up to lose their lives in a Catholic coup at the Palace of Westminster. One of those was the King of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The first British King. 

Let’s talk about King James and get to know him better.

Coming back to the podcast we have Steven Veerapen, who has penned James’ bio for Birlinn books, titled The Wisest Fool: The Lavish Life of James VI & I.
