Notes
King James I of England (1566-1625), who also reigned as James VI of Scotland, played a significant role in shaping British history. By 1640, his influence was evident through his efforts to unite the English and Scottish crowns, his sponsorship of the King James Bible, and his promotion of the Stuart dynasty's legitimacy. Illustrated genealogies from this period often depicted the Stuart lineage, emphasizing James's ancestry and his claim to both thrones. These genealogies served not only as visual records of royal lineage but also as political tools to reinforce the Stuart family's divine right to rule.
