Had a lovely time today at @KingJamesConf presenting on James’ use of his mother in his English succession 👑

Main takeaway from the day? My aggressive hand gestures whilst presenting…

[Understanding King James VI & I Conference @KingJamesConf]

Emily Hay explains how James rejected the attempts of others to vilify his mother, Mary, Queen of Scots. Although their relationship remained highly transactional in life, James honoured his mother with her magnificent tomb many years after her death

The British attitudes towards multilingualism is an embarrassing and outdated colonial artefact.

Most countries embrace multilingualism - and a significant number focus on English as a secondary language.

If we want to be “global leaders” maybe we should speak like it?

Had a wonderful time speaking at #RSA2025 this morning alongside @cvspragg and Gabriel Lonsberry on our panel “Keeping Up Appearances: Royal Bodies in Jacobean Britain” (even as a Marian interloper!) 👑

Spent the morning talking about Mary, her relationship with her son and its connections to Europe for the ‘King James and Europe’ workshop at the College des Écossais (albeit online). A shame I couldn’t be in Paris, but at least the Glasgow weather is holding its own 🍂

One of the most shocking opening paragraphs I have ever read about British governance.
