The Afterlife of King James IV: Otherworld Legends of the Scottish King by Keith John ColemanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
King James IV was the first Scottish monarch to lead his forces into battle since the 11th century, and the last king of any British nation to die in battle. But did he? Not according to legend and myth, and not when the notion of his staying alive proved politically expedient. The author provides a fascinating journey through the traditional Scottish psyche and literature through the focus on one seemingly "everlasting" king.
