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]

Original title
Is. Casauboni corona regia. Id est panegyrici cuiusdam vere aurei, quem Iacobo I. Magnæ Britanniæ, &c. Regi, fidei defensori delinearat, fragmenta, ab Euphormione inter schedas τοῦ μακαρίτου collecta, & in lucem edita
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.[3] Nobody was ever brought to trial.
