Selling the Jacobean Regime
View through CrossRef
Matthew was first to introduce James I to his new English subjects, and this chapter examines how those early months set the tone for James’s rule. Matthew presented him as the legitimate ruler, sidestepping the thorny issue of Mary Stuart’s execution (for which Matthew had eagerly pushed). The borders were at heart of James’s plan for an Anglo-Scottish union, which explains why Matthew spun the regime’s response to key moments in the early years: debates about the union, the Hampton Court Conference, and the aftermath of the Gunpowder Plot. Matthew’s Puritanism and occasional criticism of James I and his consort, Anne of Denmark. meant that he sometimes came into conflict with the regime.
