Other than @lady-lord-cornbury? Indeed, I am the favourite of many! Other chronist claim that Charles I was my greatest patron. Also the collection of Edward Hyde (First Earl of Clarendon and the controversial lord chancellor to Charles II) contains some of my works.

The scandal-ridden Third Earl of Clarendon, however, was born 20 years after my death, so our Edward's patronage for me is rather …ehem … supernatural. You alone connect us both with the help of your time-travelling boots … As we never met in person.

Anthonis van Dyck - Portrait of George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham and Lord Francis Villiers

@king-james-favourite

The Infant King

King James began to rule his native Scotland when he was 12 years old.

His majesty knew little of his parents. 

His father, Henry Stuart, was murdered in 1567, and his mother, Mary, Queen of Scots, was forced to leave the country when she married the suspected murderer, James Hepburn.

He had no siblings and his grandparents were unable to take care of him so he grew up surrounded by nobles and tutors.

How could I not kneel when beholding such a handsome patron? May I present you with my most recent portrait of your highness?
