Anthony Weldon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anthony Weldon
Sir Anthony Weldon (1583–1648) was an English 17th century courtier and politician. He is also the purported author of ''The Court and Character of King James I'', although this attribution has been challenged. ==Relations with King James== The story of Weldon's dismissal from King James' court for his negative assessment of the Scots in ''A Description of Scotland'', is usually taken as the justification for the criticism of James in ''The Court and Character of King James I'', which contains the famous comment that James was "the wisest fool in Christendom". However, it is unclear whether Weldon was the author of either of these works. ''A Description of Scotland'' was first published six years before Weldon's dismissal from the court and was not credited to him until the second half of the 17th century. Likewise ''The Court and Character of King James I'' was not credited to Weldon until after his death in 1648. He did, however, support Parliament during the English Civil War, holding and administering the county of Kent.
