James I (1566-1625).

<A life of 'James R.' is entered in the index to MS. Aubrey 6 (see vol. i. p. 8), as contemplated by Aubrey. If written, the life was hostile in tone, as may be seen from the following query towards it (Aubrey, in MS. Wood F. 39, fol. 347: 8 Sept. 1680):—

'Pray search that booke[13], and see if you can find the ballad, or verses, on the coronation of king James—

And at the erse of them marched the Scotish peeres
With lowzie shirts, and mangie wrists, went pricking-up their eares.'>
