Thank you to our speakers and attendees for making the conference so special! Wonderful to hear from so many scholars who work on or are intrigued by James VI & I… We hope you will keep the momentum going and we look forward to seeing what the future of Jacobean studies holds!
The ‘Wall of Jameses’ votes have been counted and the winner is… Nicholas Hilliard’s Lyte Jewel (c.1610-11)!!! (Modelled here by our speaker @EmilyHay2)
Giving @cvspragg and I a microphone and the power to quiz a room of academics on the hardest 7 rounds of James VI & I questions? An inspired idea…👑🎤 #understandingkingjames

The King James pub quiz is hotting up! PhD theses may be affected, careers may be broken…it’s very tense 😬
And we’re off! DAY ONE, PANEL ONE - Inheritance Our own Charlie Spragg uses material culture to explain why James’s 1603 coronation set out his stall as a ‘British’, rather than English or Scottish, monarch…
Really loved presenting a paper at @BristolUni today on early modern Scottish academics and students! Was part of a fantastic panel 😊
It's so pretty 😍 come see our Fringe show!
Happy birthday, King Jimmy - born #otd in 1566. The number 19 would become of almost mystical importance to him. Read about his life in ten parties here: nls.uk/papercut/james… #stuarts #scottishistory #englishhistory #royal #royalhistory
