James IV Paperback / softback
by Norman Macdougall
Part of the The Stewart Dynasty in Scotland series
Paperback / softback
Description
James IV is the best-known of all the late medieval Scottish rulers.
Widely praised by his contemporaries, he combined the qualities of successful medieval monarch with a wide interest in the arts and sciences, while remaining acutely conscious of the need to enhance the prestige of his dynasty throughout Europe.
This excellent study examines all aspects of James IV's sovereignty, explains his popularity and his highly successful kingship and assesses reasons for the disastrous end to the reign when the king and a large population of the Scottish nobility were eliminated in a single afternoon in 1513 at Flodden.
This book represents Scottish historical research at its very best.
It is meticulously researched and sensitively written.
