James I

James I

In 1603, when Queen Elizabeth died without an heir, James VI of Scotland, the son of Mary Queen of Scots, became James I of England, uniting for the first time the two kingdoms. When the Puritans presented their ideas for change in the Church of England at the Hampton Court Conference in 1604, King James rejected most of their opinions, but did consent to have a new translation of the Scriptures made, resulting in the King James Version of the Bible.
