 History in Focus: Elizabeth I and James VI and I - review of The Right to be King
At the risk of brushing in too broadly a description of Nenner's very meticulously-explored arguments, a model is proposed in which James Vl and I adhered tenaciously to the concept of an indefeasible hereditary succession in England, and the first Act of Parliament of his reign clearly proclaimed this.
James insisted that he was king by right of blood, not by legislation, nor by the nomination of his predecessor - Elizabeth I was particularly careful to avoid this technique for the transfer of power - still less by conquest.
The 'Kongelov' of 1665 endowed Frederik III with sweeping legislative and juridical powers, but it also pronounced the transformation of Denmark from an elective monarchy, albeit one in which the king's eldest son was habitually 'elected', into an hereditary monarchy.
