vorchunnИз аннотации к роману Мартина Стивена (Martin Stephen) "Совесть короля" ("The Conscience of the King"): "Скандальная эротическая переписка короля Якова I с молодым фаворитом и похищенные рукописи двух шекспировских пьес - угроза для знати.
Если эти бумаги станут достоянием гласности - Англию сотрясет скандал, равного которому не было уже несколько столетий.
Но кто дерзнул шантажировать самого монарха?
Скромный книготорговец, который, по слухам, хранит и письма, и пьесы? Это смешно. За ним явно кто-то стоит, но кто?
Всесильный шеф тайной службы сэр Роберт Сесил смертельно болен. Он, призвав отошедшего от дел Генри Грэшема, приказывает найти рукописи и любой ценой нейтрализовать шантажиста."
Ну просто скандало грандиозо. Теперь несчастного Якова Стюарта (1566 – 1625) не выберут на второй срок? ;) И какой скандал произошел за "несколько столетий" до этого?
На всякий случай, цитатка из аглицкой википедии: "In 1597–98, James wrote two works, The True Law of Free Monarchies and Basilikon Doron (Royal Gift), in which he established an ideological base for monarchy. In the Trew Law, he sets out the divine right of kings, explaining that for Biblical reasons kings are higher beings than other men, though "the highest bench is the sliddriest to sit upon".[35] The document proposes an absolutist theory of monarchy, by which a king may impose new laws by royal prerogative but must also pay heed to tradition and to God, who would "stirre up such scourges as pleaseth him, for punishment of wicked kings".[36] Basilikon Doron, written as a book of instruction for the four-year-old Prince Henry, provides a more practical guide to kingship.[37] Despite banalities and sanctimonious advice,[38] the work is well written, perhaps the best example of James's prose.[39] James's advice concerning parliaments, which he understood as merely the king's "head court", foreshadows his difficulties with the English Commons: "Hold no Parliaments," he tells Henry, "but for the necesitie of new Lawes, which would be but seldome".[40] In the Trew Law James maintains that the king owns his realm as a feudal lord owns his fief, because kings arose "before any estates or ranks of men, before any parliaments were holden, or laws made, and by them was the land distributed, which at first was wholly theirs. And so it follows of necessity that kings were the authors and makers of the laws, and not the laws of the kings."[41]"
Да, никто не хочет перенести почин на отечественную почву? Например, Иван Федоров шантажирует Ивана VI письмами (для пущей радости пусть будет переписка с Курбским)? ;)
