À propos de cet audio

 Named a Best Book of the Year by Library Journal and Daily Mail (London)

A groundbreaking and insightful exploration of King James I, enigmatic successor to Queen Elizabeth I, from the “meticulous researcher” (The Wall Street Journal) and author of the “enjoyable and readable” (Philippa Gregory, #1 New York Times bestselling author) The Palace.

From the assassination of his father to the explosive political and personal intrigues of his reign, this fresh biography reveals as never before the passions that drove King James I.

Gareth Russell’s “rollicking, gossipy” (Dan Jones, author of The Plantagenets), and scholarly voice invites us into James’s world, revealing a monarch whose reign was defined by both his public power and personal vulnerabilities. For too long, historians have shied away from or condemned the exploration of his sexuality. Now, Russell offers a candid narrative that not only reveals James’s relationships with five prominent men but also challenges the historical standards applied to the examination of royal intimacies.

This biography stands as a significant contribution to the understanding of royal history, illuminating the personal experiences that shaped James’s political decisions and his philosophical views on masculinity and sexuality.

Editorial Review

A stirring look at Great Britain’s first king
Beautifully performed by the author himself, The Six Loves of James I is a triumph in historical biography. Through meticulous research, historian Gareth Russell paints a vivid portrait of the Jacobean era, its court dynamics, and the man who became the first king of Great Britain, uniting the crowns of England and Scotland under a single monarch. Despite the political plots, religious turmoil, and intense scheming of the time, Russell’s deeply human depiction of King James I explores how his life was ruled by passions, paranoia, and love. But it’s not a narrow view of James’s romantic and political maneuverings; it’s a well-rounded exploration of his legacy, which feels like it’s been hiding in plain sight for more than four centuries. —Michael C., Audible Editor
