Corona Regia (Latin for "Royal Crown") was a scandalous satire of King James I of England.
[1] The king was so offended by the book that attempts to identify and punish those involved in its production took up considerable time and energy of English diplomats on the Continent.
This was a special concern for William Trumbull at the court of the Archdukes Albert and Isabella, as their historiographer royal, Erycius Puteanus, was under particular suspicion of being the author.
[2] Trumbull, who spent over £6,500 on his investigation, later shifted his suspicions to a student at Leuven University named Cornelius Breda.
[4] In 2011 Dana F. Sutton produced a hypertext edition and translation for the University of Birmingham's "Philological Museum" Website.
