“James’s concern for his mother’s memory was expressed as soon as was decently possible after his coronation. On 14 August 1603 he sent his herald William Dethick to Peterborough cathedral with ‘a rich pall of velvet embroidered with the arms of the mighty princess Mary, Queen of Scots’ and a letter instructing the bishop of Peterborough to have it placed on her grave. The bishop acquiesced, and both he and the dean preached sermons for the occasion. The act may be read as compensation for his absence at her first funeral and as one of many attempts to put her troubled history to rest.”
Peter Sherlock, "The Monuments of Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Stuart: King James and the Manipulation of Memory," 269.
