Notes

King James I of England, also known as James VI of Scotland before ascending to the English throne in 1603, is renowned for his role in shaping British history during the early 17th century. His reign witnessed significant developments, including the translation of the Bible into English, commonly known as the King James Version, which remains a cornerstone of English literature and religious scholarship. James's rule also saw intense religious and political conflicts, notably with the Puritans and Parliament, culminating in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Despite these challenges, his reign laid the groundwork for the stable and prosperous England that would emerge in subsequent centuries.
