USA HISTORY

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: -King James is famous for three things: Popery, puritans and witches. Popular history will always associate him with the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 when he was the intended victim of one of the most audacious assassination plots to kill a royal.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Union of the Crowns. In 1603, James VI succeeded to the English throne on the death of his cousin Elizabeth I with no direct heirs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Perhaps his finest legacy is the The King James Bible, published in English in 1611. This was the authorised version of the Bible in English, translated by bands of scholars. It was a hugely influential outcome of the 1604 Hampton Court conference, called by the King to debate differences in religion.

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.
