Did James I have no association with Westminster Abbey other than commissioning monuments to Elizabeth I and his mother, Mary Queen of Scots? Dr Andrew Foster argues there was a deeper relationship and how James' reign affected the Church of England.
The lecture will challenge the view that James I had little association with Westminster Abbey beyond commissioning the monuments to his predecssor Elizabeth I and his mother, Mary Queen of Scots. It will look at the King’s close relationship with Dean Richard Neile and examine how changes brought about during James’s reign influenced not only the work of Archbishop Laud in the next reign but also trends that were picked up again in the late seventeenth century. The lecture will also examine James I’s successful 're-establishing' of the Church of England, something his predecessor Elizabeth I had struggled to achieve.
