Wales was invaded by England and traditionally the eldest son of the reigning King or Queen of the UK is awarded the title 'Prince of Wales'. In 1603 Queen Elizabeth I of England died without heirs and her crown passed to her nearest relative, King James of Scotland, who then became known as King James VI/I or, more correctly, King James VI of Scotland, I of England.

The King James Version Bible is a translation of the Bible which originated in 1611, King James of England ordered it to be translated from the Hebrew Bible. He set very strict rules to be followed and many men to do the work in order to insure it was translated right. It was then translated into a more modern form of English in 1769 by the University of Oxford. Which is the King James version Bible we have today. It is the most accurate Bible you can find, and the ONLY one I will recommend.

James I (1566-1625, known as King James VI of Scotland) was a protestant. James practiced a presbyterian type of Puritanism, as this was the religion of Scotland. When he became King of England as well (July 25, 1603), he adopted a more Anglican Protestant form. This divided the Scots after his death.

Why did James vi become king after elizabeth i?

Elizabeth I died without issue (childless), so the succession passed to a cousin, James VI of Scotland, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. When he took the throne after Elizabeth's death in 1603, he became James I of England. James and Elizabeth were both descended from Henry VII, and James was legitimately the next in line to the throne.


What happend after Queen Elizabeth the 1st died?

Hopefully no one will. The queen is not even the rightful person to be on the throne. The correct heir is a person in Australia who is the ancestor of the kings illegitimate child from a few hundred years ago. The queen is not legitimate as a result. Therefore, her family is not even entitled to rule in reality. The current monarchy is therefore complete and utter rubbish. Charles Windsor or his sons are not princes in reality and deserve no more respect than any other person who is alive today.


Who was the monarch when William Shakespeare wrote 'Macbeth'?

William Shakespeare might have written the play "Macbeth" as early as 1603. There were two monarchs in that year. One was Queen Elizabeth I. The other was King James I of England and Ireland and VI of Scotland.It was more likely that the play was written under the second monarch instead of the first. The play was set mainly in Scotland and reinvented Scotland's history. The reinvention would not have interested Queen Elizabeth I. But it would have interested King James I/VI. The King was the son of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. The Stuarts liked to circulate stories about themselves. One such story was their descent from the fictitious Banquo through his son Fleance, both of whom appeared in the Shakespearian play.

When did Kingdom of Scotland end?

The Kingdom of Scotland has NOT ended!!!! It still exists. It is commonly referred to as Scotland, and is still a legal entity in itself. Two events occurred, #1 ; the union of the crown with England , by the accession of King James (I) of England and (VI) of SCotland. #2; The unions of the parliaments in the early 1700's. Whereby SCotland sent MP's to the Westminster parliament. Scotland retained its own legal system and currency. It is the above two events that might suggest that as a kingdom it ended, but no so!!!!
