At court When the king succeeded to the English throne, Archy was appointed court jester. In 1611 he was granted a pension of two shilling s a day, and in 1617 he accompanied James on his visit to Scotland. His influence was considerable and he was greatly courted and flattered, but his success appears to have turned his head. He became presumptuous, insolent, and mischievous and was much disliked by the members of the court. James seems to have favoured him, indeed in August 1618 Archie got the monopoly on tobacco pipes. At the Newmarket races in 1612, he even tried to excite jealousy between James and Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales Henry, Prince of Wales , by pointing out how more courtiers stayed with Henry once they were parted. Thereafter Henry s friends would always toss Archie in a blanket when they saw him.
