Notes
|
- He was James VI of Scotland.
- When Elizabeth I died without an heir,
James became king of England.
- He was James I of England, the first
Stuart king. He was king between 1603 - 1625.
- James married Anne of Denmark.
- He spent £20,000 on his coronation
(that was a lot of money in those days).
- The country was not very rich, so to
make money, he sold titles (like Duke, Earl) for £1,000
each.
- He ended the conflict in Spain in 1604.
- The Catholics attempted to blow James
and Parliament up in 1605. This is known as the 'Gunpowder Plot'.
We remember it today on bonfire night.
