Summary "London and the Kingdom - Volume 2" by Reginald R. Sharpe is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into significant political and social events in London during the reign of King James I and the subsequent years, highlighting the interaction between the City of London and the monarchy, as well as various plots, loans, and civic responsibilities that shaped the era. The opening of the work presents a detailed examination of King James I's reception by the City of London following his accession to the throne. It describes the actions taken by civic leaders, including the mayor and aldermen, to showcase their support and loyalty to the new king amidst concerns over various Catholic plots against him. The text outlines the lavish preparations and significant ceremonial displays organized to welcome the king, reflecting the importance of the City’s role in the political landscape. Additionally, it touches on the early tensions related to religious toleration and the economic challenges faced by Charles I, as well as ongoing efforts to secure the City’s privileges and immunities.
