Historical background
ENGLAND - KINGDOM OF ENGLAND - JAMES I
(1603-1625)
James I, born in Edinburgh on June 19, 1566, is the son of Queen of Scotland Mary Stuart. In 1567, when he was only one year old, he was proclaimed King of Scotland under the name of James VI by nobles who revolted against his mother, who was eventually executed in 1587. In 1603, he succeeded Elizabeth I, his cousin the Queen of England, thus ensuring the union of Scotland and England. Inclined to absolutism, his reign was marked by vigorous parliamentary opposition. He married Anne of Denmark. From this union was born Charles I who succeeded his deceased father in Theobalds Park (Hertfordshire) on March 27, 1625.
