James Iv A Renaissance King
Item Code: BK63
Cost: $12.95
Fully illustrated throughout, the Merlin series is designed to provide introductions to key periods of Scottish history.
Scholar, builder, warrior - James IV represents the golden age of the Scottish Renaissance. In the arts and sciences, in literature, architecture and music, Scotland stood in the front rank of European powers for almost the only time in its history. Pride in these achievements was to bring about her downfall and the death of her monarch on the terrible field of Flodden. But much more than just a portrait of a Renaissance prince, James IV is also the story of Scotland: Highland and Lowland, of burgh, church and court, of trade and commerce, and of a nation growing in wealth and confidence.
