title = "James and John: James I (1406–37), monastic reform, kingship, and the cult of John the Baptist",
abstract = "Chronologically, the advent of Renaissance kingship in Scotland is usually placed, by Mason and others, in the reign of James III (1460-88). This paper, in contrast, suggests that many of the key characteristics of {\textquoteleft}Renaissance{\textquoteright} monarchy can in fact be found in the earlier kingship of James III{\textquoteright}s grandfather, James I (1406-37). The study examines, in particular, the way James I promoted an elevated and quasi-sacral image of the monarchy through his support of the cult of St John the Baptist and his linked patronage of monastic and liturgical reform.",
