The former's honor occurred after he stabbed the Earl of Gowrie, thereby defending this king from an assassination attempt.
Corona Regia, a satire in the form of an encomium to this king, praises him for elevating John Ramsay and Robert Carr to the peerage for paederastical reasons. The former's honor occurred after he stabbed the Earl of Gowrie, thereby defending this king from an assassination attempt. Carr was this king's main advisor after the death of Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury, prompted this king to attempt to rule largely independent of council, and this king granted a divorce to Frances Howard to marry Carr. Howard and perhaps Carr conspired to poison Thomas Overbury while he was imprisoned in the Tower for disobeying this king and, essentially, for opposing Howard influence, in a major scandal during this man's reign. For 10 points, name this king who imagined himself the victim of an attempted bewitching at sea and so instigated the North Berwick witch trials and who really was the intended victim of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605.
