Jacobean Debate On The Union
The Jacobean debate on the Union took place in the early years of the reign of James I of England, who came to the English throne in 1603 as James VI of Scotland, and was interested in uniting his Kingdoms of England (including Wales) and Scotland. With one monarch on the two thrones there was ''de facto'' a "regnal union", but since James was very widely accepted in England, the debate was not on that plane. A political union was more controversial and is often referred to as a "statutory union", underlining the fact that the legal systems and institutions involved were different, and had had distinct historical paths. That wider union did not in fact come about in the 17th century (apart from the arrangements of the 1650s under the Commonwealth), but at the time of the Union of England and Scotland in 1707, arguments from the earlier period were again put into circulation. While the "Union of the Crowns" represented by James on his accession in England was essentially undispute ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alberico Gentili
Alberico Gentili (14 January 155219 June 1608) was an Italian-English jurist, a tutor of Queen Elizabeth I, and a standing advocate to the Spanish Embassy in London, who served as the Regius professor of civil law at the University of Oxford for 21 years. He is heralded as the founder of the science of international law alongside Francisco de Vitoria and Hugo Grotius, and thus known as the "Father of international law".

Gentili authored several books, which are recognized to be among the most essential for international legal doctrines, yet that also include theological and literary subjects. Early life and family He was born into a noble family in the town of San Ginesio, Macerata, Italy. It has been conjectured that Gentili's mother might have been the source of his early love for jurisprudence, but it was his father, Matteo Gentili, ...
