King James I partial document signed, dated 1598 from Scotland. Here, King James orders the inquiry and punishment of certain disorders and requires his loyal subjects to help him. Writing is very faint and presumably written in Old English. At this time, James was still King James VI, earning the title of James I from the union of the English and Scottish crowns in March 1603. Document measures 9.5'' x 3.75'', a fragmented portion of the original document. Mounted to a backing board to an overall size of 9.5'' x 5.75''. Toning, fading and irregular edges. Good to very good condition.
