Dec 13, 2007 History of England 008

Thomas Macaulay is providing an overview of English history up to the reign of James II before he can begin his much closer study of the reign of James II and then William III.

In this episode Macaulay gives his opinion of James I (not good) and talks about the Divine Right of Kings. This was a subject that James I talked of and wrote upon all too often. Macaulay suggests that the Old Testament has much to say upon kings and little of it is good.
