King James VI of Scotland (& later James 1 of England) became king at the age of 13 months of age in 1567 after the murder of his father, Lord Darnley, in 1566 & the forced abdication of his mother, Mary, Queen of Scot the following year.

James was raised in Stirling Castle by regents & tutors, including George Buchanan who was his main teacher.

In this History Extra podcast, historian Clare Jackson explores the violence that was a feature in James’ life and attempts to restore his reputation which, she thinks, has been much maligned since his death.
