Introduction
No full textThe introduction begins by tracing the history of the major contributions to the debate over noble power versus the centralisation of government in early modern Scotland, and assesses how the contributions to the volume further add to this. It concludes that James' attitude to noble power and service had many continuities and parallels with his earlier Stewart predecessors such as James IV and James V, altered in line with his own expectations that they would serve him and the ideal of himself as a 'universal king'

'If I should die tonight' poem
No full textHumorous poem copied by Harrison Kerr and written by Benjamin Franklin King ca. 1890. The poem, titled "If I should die tonight," jokes about money owed to the author and the shock he would experience at being repaid upon his death. It was written as a parody of a serious contemporary poem of the same title.
Harrison Henry Kerr (1839-1901), born in North Georgetown, Ohio, served along with his brother, Ezra, as a private in Company D of the 58th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi, on December 29, 1862., and held for three months before being exchanged and returning to his regiment. He was discharged on January 14, 1865. Following the war, he was married to Elizabeth (Rettig) Kerr. The two lived in Cleveland and had one son, Harrison McKinley Kerr. In 1888, he joined the Memorial Post No. 141, Grand Army of the Republic. He is buried in North Georgetown Cemetery

Of bairns and bearded men: James VI and the Ruthven Raid
No full textThe Ruthven Raid was a 10-month coup d'etat that comprised the seizure of James VI by a coalition of nobility at the end of August 1582 and his forcible captivity, first outside Perth and then in Stirling and Holyrood, until the end of May 1583. This chapter is the first ever detailed exploration of this major event in James' early reign, and looks at who the Raiders were, what triggered them to act, and how they governed Scotland. Using previously unpublished archival evidence from the royal household accounts and Treasurer's accounts, it argues that perhaps the most important motivation for the Raid was financial, as the main ringleader (William Ruthven, first earl of Gowrie) was liable for crown debts which had rapidly spiraled during the ascendancy of Esme Stuart, Duke of Lennox (September 1579-August 1582). Gowrie took a series of steps to systematically reduce the deficit and protect himself from pursuit of debt before reliniquishing control over the young king, a fact which further challenges the idea that the raid was simply about removing Lennox from the king's inner circle as a potential pro-French and pro-Catholic influence. More significantly, the chapter argues that although James was only 16 when the raid occurred, he negotiated his way to freedom using the arrival of French ambassadors to court in early 1583 as a form of political leverage against the Raiders and their supporters in Elizabeth I's government. The major conclusion of the piece is that James had far more political agency and ability in the earliest years of his reign than we have previously assumed, and invites a further re-assessment of his 'long apprenticeship' between 1578 and 1585 as he gradually took full control of Scottish political life
