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…

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 @emilyhay.bsky.social)

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!

This @historyworkshop.org.uk series looks fab! York's @ciscstudies.bsky.social is just taking off, but the goal is to form some kind of network within early modern studies for all this, too.
