Henry Yelverton, later Sir Henry, was an English lawyer and politician who found himself in trouble with King James I due to his outspoken conduct in Parliament. His Narrative of what passed on his being restored to the King's favour in 1609 details his efforts to regain royal approval after falling out of favour. Yelverton had displeased the king with his speeches and behaviour in Parliament, leading to significant royal discontent. In his narrative, he describes how he became aware of the king’s displeasure through various reports and direct actions. He then sought ways to express his grief and demonstrate his desire to clear his name and restore the king’s favour. His reconciliation with the king proved successful, and soon after, in 1613, he was appointed Solicitor General and knighted. By 1616, he had risen to the position of Attorney General, and later, he became a Justice of the King's Bench and Common Pleas. 26 pages.
