ISBN10: 1906566909, ISBN13: 9781906566906, [publisher: John Donald Publishers Ltd, Edinburgh] Softcover Paperback. Widely praised by his contemporaries, James IV 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. A fascinating biography of one of Scotland's most famous and greatest kings. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
