Summary:
Orphaned, bullied, lonely, and unloved as a boy, in time the young King of Scots overcame his troubled beginnings to ascend the English throne at the height of England's Golden Age. In an effort to pacify rising tensions in the Anglican Church, and to reflect the majesty of his new reign, James Stuart spearheaded the most important literary undertaking in Western History - the translation of the Bible into a beautiful, lyrical, and accessible English. "Majestie" is a shared biography: that of the first Stuart King of England (James I) and the Bible that goes by his name.
