King of England and Ireland (1566–1625) under whom the ‘Golden Age’ of Elizabethan literature and drama continued. Manuscript DS in Old English, signed “James R,” one page, 12 x 7.75, January 7, 1615. A warrant to Thomas, Lord Ellesmere as Lord Chancellor, regarding the “death of Sir William Lower Knight,” and mentioning the auction of his land. Neatly signed at the top by the king. In fine condition, with three vertical folds, one through a single letter of signature, and some scattered light toning and soiling. Ellesmere faithfully served the King for over 14 years in his role as Lord Chancellor, who assisted James in running the day-to-day business of the government. Documents signed by this historic monarch are rarely encountered.
