His mother was on 24 June 1567 during her captivity in Loch leven Castle to resign. On 29 July 1567, he was just one year old, during a Protestant service led by John Knoxin the Church of the Holy Rude to King of Scotland crowned as James VI. His mother managed to escape and fled to England, where they spent 19 years in captivity. His father, Lord Darnley, was killed under mysterious circumstances shortly after his birth.

James got a strict Protestant upbringing and a solid theological and classical training to the Catholic influence of his mother to forget. As a boy, he has a lot of contact with his cousin, a Catholic Frenchman. Long has he thought that his only family is because he has never known his parents. The Protestant nobility takes him prisoner for fear is for too many Catholic influence in the country, but he manages to escape, to create an army and conquer through Edinburgh to gain control of Scotland. In 1583 he tapped to the influence of the Protestant party in Scotland and increased his royal power. On the execution of his mother in 1587 he barely reacted, presumably because he was a descendant of Henry VII the right to succession of the English Queen Elizabeth not in danger wanted to bring.

It was searched for a suitable bride for Jacobus. That was found in the 14-year-old Danish Princess Anne of Denmark, a daughter of the Danish King Frederick II of Denmarkand his wife, Queen Sophia of Mecklenburg-Güstrow. The two performed on 23 november 1589 in marriage to Norwayin Oslo . They had seven children, three of whom were adult:

==King of England[ Edit] == King James IWhen Elizabeth I of England died without descendants in 1603, James was proclaimed King of England and Ireland (James I). England and Scotland continued to both sovereign States, but now formed a personal Union. Jacobus from the outset in England strove to location of the absolutism and strengthening the position of the State Church. He himself was convinced protestant, but on foreign policy he felt the most for joining the powerful Catholic Princes. See also: Gunpowder treason, where in november 1605 a group of English Catholics tried to kill James 1.

In 1604 he concluded peace with Spain, after which he went to dynastic connection with Catholic powers also aspire. It came to a break with and dissolution of the Parliament in 1622, when he proposed to his second son Charles, later King Charles I, to marry Princess Maria Anna of Spain. (Karel finally married Henrietta Maria of France.) ==Politics<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After his appointment he forged the separate countries together to Great Britain with joint laws and equality for the people of both countries, although England was richer and further developed. James left a new flag designs and this was the Union Flag. Jacobus donated money, land and estates to the Scottish nobility. Although James as King was quite popular (though he was not considered as strong as his predecessor Elizabeth I), not its politics ever fell on good soil, but to Parliament and the people there wanted to Jacobus no into account. Parliament wished themselves not to submit to Jacobus ' attempts to own all kinds of political decisions and to cross certain taxpayers ' money in his own pocket. He also wanted complete control of the Executive and the judiciary. He was thereby in conflict with Parliament. Three times he even ruled without Parliament (1611-1614, 1614-1621 and 1622-1624), but if he's in need of money he had to hit again and again come to a compromise. The Dutch Ambassador Noël de Caron helped him several times to money.

James was a talented writer and published several books in Latin.He also translated works, among others, of the French. On his authority also arose the famous English translation of the Bible of 1611, 'the Authorized (or: King James) version'. James was convinced that witches and demons worked everywhere. In 1597 he published a book on Demonology, the "Daemonologie" with a theory about the Blood law, a God's relics from the medieval law. Many innocent Scottish and English men and women were the victim of James ' witches delusion. ==Speculations about homosexuality<span class="mw-editsection" len="362" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">There are always been speculation about the supposed homosexuality of the King and also from some modern historians go here. He gave rise to myself here, given his choice of male companions. His relationship as a young man with his contemporary George Stuart, Seigneur d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Lennox, was criticised by the Scottish Church leaders and Lennox was forced to leave Scotland. In the 1980s, Francis Stewart Hepburn publicly kissed James Earl of Bothwell. When James ascended the English throne, therefore the following joke did the round: Rex fuit Elizabeth: nunc est regina Jacobus (Elizabeth was King: now Jacobus Queen). He obviously wasn't always wise in his choice of male partners and knew his favorites pretty to patronize, such as Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset who managed to bring to of page. So also the subsequent Earl of Buckingham fared: Jacobus George Villiers called his ' wife ' and himself Villiers ' ' man '. Especially Villiers gained ascendancy at the King. ==Death<span class="mw-editsection" len="339" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">James died in 1625 to old-age diseases and is buried in Westminster Abbey. After George Villiers was killed on 23 August 1628, he became to Jacobus ' right hand buried. Another of his favorites was buried on the other side.
