James VI & I (19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scots as James VI from 1567 to 1625, and King of England and Ireland as James I from 1603 to 1625.

He became King of Scots as James VI on 24 July 1567, when he was just thirteen months old, succeeding his mother Mary, Queen of Scots. Regents governed during his minority, which ended officially in 1578, though he did not gain full control of his government until 1581.

Under James, the "Golden Age" of Elizabethan literature and drama continued, with writers such as William Shakespeare, John Donne, Ben Jonson, and Sir Francis Bacon contributing to a flourishing literary culture. James himself was a talented scholar, the author of works such as Daemonologie (1597), True Law of Free Monarchies (1598), and Basilikon Doron (1599). Sir Anthony Weldon claimed that James had been termed "the wisest fool in Christendom", an epithet associated with his character ever since.

Can anyone else add to my research on King James of England and his Motivation for Authorizing a new version?
Q. of the Bible? There is too much history to outline here to reach the point when James I became King of England after the death of Elizabeth, but the critical issues facing James were ones that had surfaced during the era of Henry VIII. As a result of Henry VIII, the king was the head of the Church of England (the Anglican Church.) When James became king, the Anglicans and the Puritans were involved in deep conflicts over which version of the Bible was "authorized" for use in the Church of England. This means that control of the Bible was a highly political issue. (Jesus Had nothing to do with Politics of this World Governments..He refuse ruler ship of it all...) In a brilliant stroke of leadership, King James I "authorized" that a… [cont.]

A. While not all kings claimed godship, most of them at least maintained that they had divine backing. Being singled out to represent God on earth carried with it priestly charisma. John H. Mundy explains that the ancient idea that kings were themselves priestly spread through the West, making a prince the administrative head of his church and director of its apostolate. It was a religious concept derived from the Constantinian partnership of church and state [during the fourth century C.E.], and from the parallel absorption of Neoplatonic thought by the church. The religious blessing bestowed at the time of coronation dignified the king s rule with a legitimacy that would otherwise have been lacking. In 1173, Henry II of England began… [cont.]

A. Religion. James was sympathetic to Catholicism and many people thought he was Catholic himself. Problem was, most of the nobles and a lot of the common people were Anglican and thought that Catholicism was an abdication of England's sovereignty to the Pope at best, and equivalent to Devil-worship at worst. So James' sympathy to Catholics and calls for tolerance of Catholics made people distrust him. Because of that, after a troubled reign, he was deposed (that is, his kingship was stripped from him) when William of Orange invaded England in 1688, and lived the rest of his life in exile.

James VI of Scotland and I of England (Charles James Stuart) (19 June 1566–27 March 1625) was a king who ruled over England, Scotland, and Ireland, and was the first Sovereign to reign in the three realms simultaneously.

  • That which concerns the mystery of the King's power is not lawful to be disputed; for that is to wade into the weakness of Princes, and to take away the mystical reverence that belongs unto them that sit in the throne of God.
