This is the first biography of Ludovic Stuart, Duke of Lennox, who
served in the court of King James VI of Scotland from 1583 until
his unexpected death in 1624. Lennox arrived in Scotland in
November 1583, a 9-year-old boy from France and a cousin of the
king. For the next 40 years he served James faithfully and
skilfully, becoming the quintessential courtier, James's confidant,
adviser and friend. Shrewd politician, ambitious and sometimes
ruthless, but also beloved by the royal family, Lennox carefully
negotiated political and diplomatic minefields. He also
participated in the arts as patron and performer, sponsoring his
own acting company, attending drama performances and performing in
several court masques. Providing a portrait of this most important
courtier, this book covers the politics and cultural life of the
Stuart court in Scotland and England. It shows that it is essential
to know about Lennox and his unparalleled importance in order to
fully understand the reign of King James.
