I hate James VI so much I don’t think I could watch a drama where the mass murders he triggered in Scotland are not part of the story. But they never are, despite the fact they would still be going on, there were around 150 people, mostly women tried for witchcraft at the time Buckingham and James VI were together. (Yes I’m a nerd who looked up the number of witch trials while they were together).
Yes, very good point. We're hoping to have an event at the festival this year exploring the reality of his reign(s) and court. Alongside that of other monarchs - Rebecca.
