- On 18 July 1593 King James VI was taken prisoner by the Earl of Bothwell at Holyrood. The king remained as Bothwell’s prisoner throughout July and August, as Bothwell enjoyed the support of Elizabeth of England. However, once James had managed to extricate himself from Bothwell’s clutches, he determined to exact revenge, issuing a strong rebuke to Elizabeth for supporting his rival and crushing Bothwell’s forces on the field of battle.
