Biography: general

Hardcover. James VI & I had a series of notorious male favourites. These affairs were almost certainly sexual. They diminished the majesty of the monarchy and raised the spectre of a sodomitical court and effeminized nation. It is a story of political intrigue coloured by sodomy, pederasty, and gender instability as backdrop to the English Civil War. Num Pages: 264 pages. BIC Classification: 1DBK; 3JD; BGH; BGR; HBJD1; HBLH; HBTB; JFSK2. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 167 x 242 x 29. Weight in Grams: 610.
