King James was talented. He knew French, Latin, English, and more languages!
πAs recorded in his book of The Workes of the Most High Prince Iames I, King James I of Britain/King James VI of Scotland wrote A Praemonition to all Christian Monarches in English & Latin.
πAlso, King James I wrote A Defence of the Right of Kings in French and translated his treatise from French into English.
πAnother notable proof that King James I knew Latin is he frequently quotes numerous Latin quotes from various ancient authors and then explains the quote/shows how it is related to what he is saying in his book (which is named below) that is a collection of his treatises:π
(The Workes of the Most High and Mightie Prince, Iames, The Severall Treatises According to Wherein They Were Written, and Their Place in This Collection, Pages 45-46 [Source])
