Place reservation for Queen James : the life and loves of Britains' first kingThere has never been a biography of King James that looks honestly at the entirety of his private life, much less at the men he loved over the course of that life. It is among the most dramatic stories in British royal history. Beginning with the assassination of his bisexual father in 1567, James's life ran through kidnapping, religious fundamentalism, witchcraft trials, torture, poison, political radicalism, the unification of Scotland and England, a queen's alleged abortion, passionate sex, strong love, stronger hate, espionage, one-night stands, group sex, brothels, and a decade-long love affair that ended in murder. Apart from being a series of love stories, 'Queen James' covers a fascinating piece of royal history. He did not always love wisely but he never failed to do so boldly.
