Origin[]
The Basilikon Doron (Greek: Βασιλικὸν Δῶρον, English: Royal Gift) is a political treatise written by King James VI & I to his first son Henry, Duke of Rothesay. After Henry's death he gave it to his second son Charles, later King Charles I. The Basilikon Doron gives guidelines to be an efficient monarch. Split into three sections on kingly conduct as a religious worshipper, a political figure and daily routines. To study and pray intensively, uphold laws in the name of equality, take an active role in governing the kingdom, don't be a lecherous floozy and respond to others with clarity. Many of these tenets have been passed on through the monarchy as the expected etiquette for leaders of high grace.

The book stores the memories and knowledge of the previous reader while transferring already stored information to the current. Therefore the contents of the book would increase every time a different person reads it. Opinions are often interwoven into the experiences, making it difficult at times to distinguish apart preferences from facts. Usually the ideas that seem in conflict with another are opposing stances each reader had.
