Studies of James VI/I's reign traditionally emphasise his writings, the Bedchamber politics of favouritism and his relationship with political elites. However, the creation of a new 'British' monarchy and the changing dynamics of royal power can only be fully understood once the historiographical lacuna of his progresses has been addressed. By studying James in settings removed from the royally-managed environs of the capital -roads, towns, villages, country houses- the project will revise orthodox conceptions of image-making, and what constituted 'the political', at the turn of the 17th century. Elizabeth I's and Charles I's progresses have received considerable attention from academics such as Mary Hill Cole and Siobhan Keenan. However, my Masters dissertation demonstrated that contrary to scholarly consensus, James continued the Stewart tradition of progressing throughout his reigns. Thus, the project strives to comprehensively challenge the conventional notion, articulated by Roger Manning, that for James 'a royal progress was first and foremost a hunting holiday'. Adopting a 'new British history' approach, recognising distinct Scottish and English political contexts whilst connecting the disparate historiographies, the project will further develop Jenny Wormald's notable question on whether James was 'two kings or one'. Moreover, building from Andrea Thomas's work on the itinerant courts of preceding Scottish monarchs, it will consider whether a distinctly Scottish progress culture travelled south with James in 1603. Advancing Cole's work on the gendered nature of Elizabeth's progresses, it will also study those of James's consort Anna of Denmark; hitherto focused upon in palace environs. This will illuminate how female-led progresses rendered Anna a political figure in her own right. The project's themes are thereby significant for contemporary debates about nationalism, gendered politics and how visual propaganda moulds public opinion. The first research question asks how Jacobean progresses were organised: how they were funded, the mechanics of sustaining an itinerant court and how government was conducted 'on the road'. This will highlight James's hitherto unrecognised involvement in decisions regarding travel. Second, how did James and Anna use progresses to project royal authority? By considering cultures of royal-elite hospitality -gift exchange, entertainment and the hunt- in a peripatetic context, the project will dissect how their significance was transformed when deployed within a nobleman's own sphere of influence. It will also examine how James used the 1617 progress to Scotland to further his perceived Anglicanisation of the Scottish church. Third, what impact did progresses have on those who encountered them? The project will consider the political benefits of attracting the court against the financial burden this entailed. It will also examine the involvement of non-elite subjects in civic entries and measure their engagement with Jacobean optics of power; enhancing Michael Braddick's work on the collaborative nature of early modern sovereignty. Research will draw upon the collection of primary documents compiled on James's progresses by nineteenth-century antiquarian John Nichols. At the National Records of Scotland, Treasurer's Accounts (E21), Household Books (E31) and Household Papers (E34) provide particulars regarding the logistics of James's Scottish progresses. At the National Archives in London, Records of the Lord Chamberlain (LC1/9/10/11) and Exchequer (E36/101) contain similarly illuminating evidence of James's travel in England. Foreign ambassadors report extensively on royal behaviour on progress and will be used critically to gauge public opinion of royal pursuits. Additionally, civic records reveal much about preparations for royal visits, whilst private papers such as those of the Devonshire Collection will enable assessment of progresses' impact on hosts and spectators.

对詹姆斯六世/一世统治的研究传统上强调他的著作，偏袒的卧室政治以及他与政治精英的关系。然而，创造一个新的“英国”君主制和不断变化的动态皇家权力，只能充分理解一旦史学空白，他的进展已得到解决。通过研究詹姆斯在远离皇家管理的首都周边地区-道路，城镇，村庄，乡村房屋-的设置，该项目将修改传统的形象制作概念，以及什么构成了“政治”，在世纪之交。伊丽莎白一世和查理一世的进步受到了玛丽希尔科尔和西沃恩基南等学者的相当大的关注。然而，我的硕士论文表明，与学术界的共识相反，詹姆斯在他的统治期间继续了斯图尔特的进步传统。因此，该项目力求全面挑战罗杰·曼宁（Roger Manning）所阐述的传统观念，即詹姆斯的"皇家进步首先是狩猎“。采用“新英国历史”的方法，认识到不同的苏格兰和英格兰的政治背景，同时连接不同的史学，该项目将进一步发展珍妮沃莫尔德的著名问题，詹姆斯是“两个国王还是一个”。此外，根据安德烈托马斯对前苏格兰君主巡回法庭的研究，它将考虑1603年是否有一种明显的苏格兰进步文化随着詹姆斯向南传播。推进科尔的工作性别性质的伊丽莎白的进展，它也将研究那些詹姆斯的配偶安娜的丹麦;迄今为止集中在宫殿周围。这将阐明女性领导的进步如何使安娜成为一个政治人物。因此，该项目的主题对当代关于民族主义、性别政治以及视觉宣传如何塑造公众舆论的辩论具有重要意义。第一个研究问题是如何组织蚕豆的进步：他们是如何资助的，维持巡回法庭的机制，以及政府是如何进行的“在路上”。这将突出詹姆斯迄今未被承认参与有关旅行的决定。第二，詹姆斯和安娜是如何利用进步来投射皇家权威的？通过考虑皇室精英的款待文化-礼物交换，娱乐和狩猎-在一个巡回的背景下，该项目将剖析他们的意义是如何转变时，部署在一个贵族自己的势力范围。它还将研究詹姆斯如何利用1617年的进展，以苏格兰进一步他认为苏格兰教会的圣公会化。第三，进步对那些遇到它们的人产生了什么影响？该项目将考虑吸引法院的政治利益和由此带来的财政负担。它还将研究非精英主体在公民条目的参与，并衡量他们与权力的蚕豆光学的参与;加强迈克尔·布雷迪克的早期现代主权的协作性质的工作。研究将利用收集的主要文件汇编詹姆斯的进展，由19世纪的古董约翰尼科尔斯。在苏格兰国家记录中，司库账户（E21），家庭书籍（E31）和家庭文件（E34）提供了关于詹姆斯苏格兰进步的物流细节。在伦敦的国家档案馆中，《张伯伦勋爵记录》（Records of the Lord Chamberlain，LC 1/9/10/11）和《财政部记录》（Records of the Exchequer，E 36/101）也包含了詹姆斯在英格兰旅行的类似启发性证据。外国大使广泛报道皇家行为的进展，并将被严格用于衡量公众对皇家追求的看法。此外，公民记录揭示了很多关于皇家访问的准备工作，而私人文件，如德文郡收藏将使评估的进展对主机和观众的影响。
