😂 Your death is the term, and it can be hastened if necessary.
But seriously, he was ruling Scotland as James I, then a England needed a king and asked if he would do it. He did, but had to change his name to James VI. So he ruled both countries simultaneously as James VI, but only Scotland as James I. 🤪
The only thing I like about King James I is that he’s the reason why we have the Weird Sisters in Macbeth (and Macbeth in general)
Yes! The Daemonologie inspired Shakespeare!
The King of Scotland and England on the kings and queens of the underworld.
Is this a TV show you’re going to write? I will definitely watch.
"Written in 1597 by King James VI of Scotland (later King James I of England)…"
Seriously? Term limits, people!

There is a man on TikTok who has an original copy of this! He has so many crazy books.
I might be tempted to burn it if I ever got an original😂 But seriously, I would love to have a lot of old books😍
I was just reading up on this dude! https://rapscallison.substack.com/p/scoturday-night-fever
Awesome! Saved to read later, thanks for sharing it!
Possessed courtier?!
Drunk shepherds, easy to take.
Now King's after us.
You never want a late-ish medieval king after you.
Could be. I could imagine James and his predecessor's friend John Dee getting up to stuff...
There is definitely not enough alchemy in modern television.
Silly king James 😑
He was a silly, silly monster😅
I'm not a rock lyric worshipper. But the Cathedral song "North Berwick Witch Trials" is literally about this. So just thought you might be interested:
Grand master of the Sabbath, John Fane
Told his coven gathered: "Kill King James"
Wax a figure of his image & wrap it in his clothing
Burn it slowly whist he is sleeping
Feed him with poison, bring the monarchy down
Our sin is rebellion, in black arts crowned
3 covens of 39
In 1591 that night performed a rite
A grand Sabbath with one aim in sight
To destroy the king of England
Create a storm, whilst overseas he sails
To bring his Danish bride to these Isles
They christened a cat in his name;
Threw it in a pond, no shame
A tempest was aroused, who should he blame
Hunt down those Witches, confess or die
Sink or swim, they're guilty - let's hang 'em high
3 covens of 39
In 1591 that night performed a rite
A grand Sabbath with one aim in sight
To destroy the king of England
Witchcraft spreading all around this Christian land
Find them; burn them to the ground
Their souls condemned
Their ill fated curse failed so the king held trial
The first great persecution of the British Isles
An imp sucks a spinster's nipple
A hare drains milk from cattle
A clergy fornicate at a black dog's ball
Pierce flesh with needles three inches in
If they scream they're guilty, guilty as sin
3 covens slaughtered that night
39 crucified, burned and hanged alive
Interrogated at our first witch trials
Sentenced by the king of England

I also really dig that angular guitar riff the guy does. But no accounting for taste.
I could listen to good guitar until my ears bleed.
Also I love how nerdy metal bands are 🤓😍
