That Gaspar Schoppe, author of several stinging publications against James I, was brutally attacked in a Madrid street in 1614 has often been dismissed as the victim’s larmoyant exaggeration of a mere licking, although Schoppe claimed that it was an attempt on his life. But there is a letter written from Madrid to the Archbishop of Canterbury speaking of the episode as a planned attempt to cut off Schoppe’s nose and ears. While some modern bibliographies still point to Schoppe as the author of Corona Regia (1615), possibly the most stinging satire ever written against King James, the attribution now seems questionable
