George Heriot, jeweller to King James VI and I, moves with the
Court from Edinburgh to London to take over the English throne. It
is 1603. Life is a Babel of languages and glittering new wealth.
The Scottish court speaks Danish, German, Middle Scots, French and
Latin. King James gives Shakespeare his first secure position, and
to calm the perfidious religious tensions, he commissions his
translation of the Bible.George becomes wealthier than the king as
he creates a fashion for hat jewels and mingles with Drummond of
Hawthornden, Ben Johnson, Inigo Jones and the mysterious ambassador
Luca Von Modrich... However both king and courtier bow before the
phenomenal power invested in their wives.
