Detailed explanation-1: -James VI and I (James Charles Stuart; 19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625.

Detailed explanation-2: -They had numerous children, three of whom survived infancy: Henry, who died after a short illness in 1612, Charles who was to succeed James, and Elizabeth, who married Frederick, elector of Palatine, and the swiftly deposed King of Bohemia.

Detailed explanation-3: -On 24 March 1603 James achieved his lifelong ambition when Queen Elizabeth I died and he inherited the throne of England.

Detailed explanation-4: -Although he was King of both countries, James’s attempt to create a full governmental union proved premature. An able theologian, James ordered a new translation of the Bible which became known as the Authorised King James’s Version of the Bible.

Detailed explanation-5: -Queen Elizabeth I of England was born in 1533 the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. She never married and died without children. Because of this, the throne passed to her nephew, King James VI of Scotland, who then also became King James I of England.
