Bang! The gavel falls. The gallery quiets. The case is called. The Defendant: King James VI and I. The Charges: A ledger of whispers and slander stretching over four centuries. They say he hated women, had sexual relations with his mother and even murdered her. They say he consorted with witches and devils. They say he wrote The Bible of Demonology and yet gave the world the most famous Bible in history. Could the same man who wrote about spirits and sorcery also have given us the Word of God the King James Bible? And then come the most scandalous accusations of all that King James was homosexual. Not only, they say, was he a homosexual, but that he took male lovers among the men of his royal court: George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham; Esmé Stewart, the Duke of Lennox; Robert Carr, the Earl of Somerset and others whispered about in shadowed corridors. The prosecution has centuries of rumors. The defense has the truth so it claims. The jury is you. The witnesses are ready. The verdict is yet to be written. open the case. The court is now in session. King James is on Trial.
