The son of Mary, Queen of Scots, became king - King James VI of Scotland and I of England, thereby uniting the two kingdoms.



Elizabeth had never named her successor; she didn't want to be a setting sun to another rising one. "Only a short time before her death did she name her successor, for she knew better than to do so before because no one would listen to her once her “heir” was named. Any talk of the succession presupposed Elizabeth's death, and this was one subject the Queen could not bear to contemplate."

"...as William Cecil observed in 1560, `the English run after the heir to the Crown more than the present wearer of it. ' Elizabeth was aware of this herself, having been swamped by lords, in her sister's reign, urging her to endeavour to obtain the crown."

Because of her skillful rule, there was a smooth succession to James in 1603.



"24th March marks the anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth I. By the late winter of 1602/3 Elizabeth was 69 years old, and ill. She had caught a chill in the January, and was suffering from aches and pains, but more profound was her obvious listlessness and loss of appetite for life. She refused to leave her private apartments for her bed and would not see her doctors. When Robert Cecil told her that she must go to bed, she replied "The word must is not to be used to princes… Little man, little man. Ye know I must die, and that makes ye so presumptuous". [Memoirs of the Life of Robert Carey]. When it became obvious that her condition was worsening, Archbishop Whitgift was called, and the Queen squeezed his hand when he spoke to her of the rewards of Heaven. Elizabeth was now beyond speech but it was necessary for some declaration to be made about the succession to the throne. She was asked whether James VI of Scotland was to succeed her and it was reported by Cecil that she gestured that this was her will." (Some sources say that she actually said that James was her successor.)

"On Elizabeth's death, England welcomed James and his royal family enthusiastically. People flocked to James on his way from Scotland, turning his southward journey into a grand procession. He immediately showed himself more liberal in his favours than Elizabeth, granting over 300 knighthoods before even reaching London...The English people were delighted once again to have a king and royal family at court, with the surety of an undisputed succession on James's death."

There is no immediate initial "crowning"; the new monarch simply becomes the new monarch at the moment the old one dies. The coronation, which in recent reigns has generally taken place about a year or so after the monarch has succeeded to the throne, is a formal acknowledgement of the new status, but the monarch is the monarch even without the coronation. What this means is that there's no "grace period" during which it's somehow easier to refuse to become the monarch than it would be after a coronation. For example, Edward VIII became King on the death of his father, George V, and never underwent a coronation. He was King for several months, and his abdication was still a major problem -- because he was the King, not just some probationary figure who hadn't quite become the "real" King yet. He became the real King at the moment his father died; no ceremony was required. By the way, Charles is never going to experience any doubts about becoming King or offer the throne to William. He has spent a lifetime preparing to become King and is the best-educated, best-prepared Prince of Wales in history. He wants the throne, and there is no reason why he shouldn't succeed to it and remain on it until his death.

Elisabeth died without an heir in 1603. She refused to marry because she did not want to be replaced as the decision maker by her husband. Her cousin was Mary (who was the Queen of Scotland and had been the Queen of France). Mary was the daughter of Henry VIII sister, Margaret, making her Elizabeth's cousin. She was the next in line to the throne but Elizabeth refused to name her as heir. Mary was constantly manoevering for the throne and eventually Elizabeth had no choice but to execute her. Still she refused to name an heir. James (the son of Mary) was the KIng of Scotland and the next in line to the throne. On her death he became King of England too. The two kingdoms were not united until much later (I think in the early 1700s). The problem was that the English nobles did not want a Scottish King with Scotland being the dominant Kingdom. James and the symbols of the Scottish monarchy were brought South as was James. The English made sure that whilst James was a Scot it was English power that would prevail and it did. From then on although both Kingdoms were ruled by one Monarch it was England that had the power. James died in 1625. His son was executed by Cromwell in 1649 and we had no monarch until the restoration in 1660 when much of the power of the monarch was reduced and Parliament began to exert its power. Charles II lasted until 1685 and was replaced by his (Catholic sympathising brother) James II who was deposed by his daughter Mary and Dutch WIlliam. They did not have any children so we had Mary's sister Anne who died Childless and then we had a Hanoverian (German) with George III in 1714. The monarchy went on and on and on. And still it does though the German line continues. It was only in the First World War that the monarchy's surname Sax Coburg Gotha was changed to the much more English sounding "Windsor" - the lot we have now. But we were at war with Germany at the time.

Think out of the box when it comes to dates. Do things that are unexpected and fun. You want her to feel like when she’s with you anything is possible. Learn here https://tr.im/jWzah



She’s been on plenty of dinner-and-a-movie dates. Do a little research and find interesting places and things to do around town that’s out of the ordinary. There are hidden gems in every city. Also, get to know the owners of small restaurants and business. When your date is known by the people in the establishment, it feels more like you’re being invited into his inner circle. Just be aware that there’s a fine line between being impressive and showing off. Make sure that you make your date feel like you’re inviting her in and sharing instead of being a douche. It all goes back to intentions.

James VI of Scotland became James I of England as well.

He was the son of her cousin, as stated, but this cousin was Mary Queen of Scots, who was executed in Elizabeth's reign.

Following the death of Queen Mary - eldest daughter of HM King Henry VIII - otherwise known as Bloody Mary, Queen Elizabeth assended the throne of England.



When Elizabeth became queen of England, the coffers and war-chests were empty. Forty years later at the end of her reign, England had become the richest and most powerful nation in Europe and was about to establish itself in North America.



The first English colony in North America is Jamestown [named after King James] - this was in c1607 [401 years ago]. Jamestown Virginia - Virginia is named after the Virgin Queen - Elizabeth I



After the Virgin Queen - Elizabeth I - England then had King James I of Eng. who was in fact King James VI of Scotland.

James was a clever man and in creating the King James Bible, which was translated directly from the original Greek and not from Latin, he ordered a select committee to oversee the work. Although James is probably best described as Puritan Presbyterian in his own Christianity, he knew the importance of involving the Church of England in the creation of the new Bible.
