Yesterday's ODNB Life of the Day was Andrea Thomas's biography of James V
(1512-1542), king of Scots, chiefly of interest to this list because of his
attitude to the church and religion ('piety ... of the conventional rather
than convictional kind and his policy towards the church was highly
pragmatic') during the time of the Reformation.
