A work documenting three important days in the reign of James I of England. This work was published in 1618, fifteen years after his succeeding the throne of England, and seven years before his death. This is an interesting work, as it shows the attitude to James I in England during his reign, and the reactions to two attempts on his life. The dates discussed in this work; The 24th March, the day in 1603 that James VI of Scotland was crowned James I of England. He was proclaimed King on the same day of the death of Elizabeth I. He had been secretly corresponding with Elizabeth's chief minister Sir Robert Cecil whilst the Queen was ill, intending to prepare for a smooth succession. The coronation took place on the 25th July, though an outbreak of the plague restricted the festivities. Despite this, the streets still seem paved with me, as said by Thomas Dekker. There was a push for James to become the King to definitively made England Protestant after the Protestant Elizabeth I. The 5th August 1600, the date of the Gowrie Conspiracy in which John Ruthven, the third Earl of Gowrie died is mysterious circumstances. The conspiracy was the Earl and/or his brother attempted to kill or kidnap James VI for unknown purposes. Very little is known about this conspiracy, who exactly was involved, or why. Only the facts of the actual attack and the death of the Earl are known for certainty. It took place as James VI rose early on the 5th August to go hunting in Falkland Palace. The treason of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. The plot is famous today of taking place on the 5th November. The plot was an assassination attempt against James I, by a group of Catholics led by Robert Catesby. The plan was to blow up the House of Lords. However, an anonymous letter was sent to William Parker, an English peer, who searched the House of Lords and found Guy Fawkes guarding thirty-six barrels of gunpowder.
