"The Scottish History of James the Fourth" by Robert Greene is a historical play likely written in the late 16th century. The narrative revolves around the political dynamics and personal relationships surrounding King James IV of Scotland, particularly focusing on his infatuation with themes of love and loyalty amidst conflict, betrayal, and ambition. The opening of the play introduces us to Oberon, the king of fairies, and Bohan, a disenchanted Scot who expresses his disdain for the world due to the betrayal and flatteries of court life. Bohan recounts his disillusionment with his previous aspirations and how he has retreated to a tomb, reflecting a desire for escape and tranquility. As the story unfolds, other characters including the King of Scots and his new English bride, Dorothea, are introduced, setting the stage for intrigue and conflict, particularly concerning the king's divided affections and his court's concerns about loyalty and governance. The blend of comedy, fairy interaction, and dramatic political stakes hints at a rich tapestry of themes that will play out in this historical retelling.
