Corona Regia (Latin for "Royal Crown") was a scandalous satire of King James I of England. It was written from the fictional perspective of an unfinished panegyric of the king found among the papers of Isaac Casaubon (1559–1614) and published by John Bill, the king's printer. In fact neither Casaubon nor Bill had anything to do with the publication. Corona Regia has been described as "an important text in the history of satire, in the history of English monarchy, and in study of seventeenth-century English theological debates".[1]
