King of England and Scotland
James I
King of Scotland from thirteen months old and of England from 1603, he commissioned the Bible translation that carries his name and wrote a treatise on witchcraft.
James VI and I 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. Though he long attempted to get both countries to adopt a closer political union, the kingdoms of Scotland and England remained sovereign states ruled by James in personal union, with their own parliaments, judiciaries and laws.
