James I, King of England, Scotland and Ireland
James I, King of England, Scotland and Ireland. James (1566-1625) became King of Scotland in 1567 and England in 1603. The son of Mary Queen of Scots, James VI of Scotland became the first of the Stuart monarchs on the English throne when Elizabeth I died. A Protestant, his policies towards Catholics led to the Gunpowder Plot, and his belief in the absolute power of the monarchy led to increasing friction with Parliament, which would culminate in civil war in the reign of his son and successor, Charles I. Culture, particularly literature, flourished during James reign, with the work of Shakespeare, Ben Jonson and Francis Bacon particularly notable, as well as the production of the King James Bible.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print captures the regal presence of James I, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Born in 1566 as the son of Mary Queen of Scots, James ascended to the Scottish throne at a young age and later became the first Stuart monarch on the English throne after Elizabeth I's death in 1603. A Protestant ruler, James' policies towards Catholics sparked unrest that culminated in the infamous Gunpowder Plot. His unwavering belief in the absolute power of monarchy led to growing tensions with Parliament, eventually leading to civil war during his son Charles I's reign. Despite these challenges, James' era saw a flourishing cultural landscape. Literature thrived under his patronage with notable works by Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and Francis Bacon shaping this golden age. Additionally, it was during his reign that the King James Bible was produced—a literary masterpiece still revered today. In this portrait-like engraving brought to life through colorization techniques by The Print Collector29 (not affiliated with any commercial use), we see King James I adorned in royal attire and an elaborate hat symbolizing his authority. The coat of arms displayed proudly signifies his lineage as both a Stewart and Stuart monarch. As we gaze upon this image capturing a pivotal figure from British history—James I—we are reminded not only of his complex rule but also how he left an indelible mark on literature and religion during one of Britain's most eventful periods—the seventeenth century.
