James VI and I
James VI and I (James Charles Stuart; 19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625.
The kingdoms of Scotland and England were individual sovereign states, with their own parliaments, judiciaries, and laws, though both were ruled by James in personal union.
James was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and a great-great-grandson of Henry VII, King of England and Lord of Ireland, positioning him to eventually accede to all three thrones.
James succeeded to the Scottish throne at the age of thirteen months, after his mother was compelled to abdicate in his favour.
Four different regents governed during his minority, which ended officially in 1578, though he did not gain full control of his government until 1583.
In 1603, he succeeded the last Tudor monarch of England and Ireland, Elizabeth I, who died childless.
He continued to reign in all three kingdoms for 22 years, a period known after him as the Jacobean era, until his death.
After the Union of the Crowns, he based himself in England (the largest of the three realms) from 1603, returning to Scotland only once, in 1617, and styled himself "King of Great Britain and Ireland".
He was a major advocate of a single parliament for England and Scotland.
In his reign, the Plantation of Ulster and British colonisation of the Americas began.
At 57 years and 246 days, James's reign in Scotland was the longest of any Scottish monarch.
He achieved most of his aims in Scotland but faced great difficulties in England, including the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 and repeated conflicts with the English Parliament.
Under James, the "Golden Age" of Elizabethan literature and drama continued, with writers such as William Shakespeare, John Donne, Ben Jonson, and Sir Francis Bacon contributing to a flourishing literary culture.
James himself was a talented scholar, the author of works such as "Daemonologie" (1597), "The True Law of Free Monarchies" (1598), and "Basilikon Doron" (1599).
He sponsored the translation of the Bible into English that would later be named after him: the Authorized King James Version.
Sir Anthony Weldon claimed that James had been termed "the wisest fool in Christendom", an epithet associated with his character ever since.
Since the latter half of the 20th century, historians have tended to revise James's reputation and treat him as a serious and thoughtful monarch.
He was strongly committed to a peace policy, and tried to avoid involvement in religious wars, especially the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) that devastated much of Central Europe.
He tried but failed to prevent the rise of hawkish elements in the English Parliament who wanted war with Spain.

Anne of Denmark
Anne of Denmark (12 December 1574 – 2 March 1619) was Queen consort of Scotland, England, and Ireland by marriage to King James VI and I.
The second daughter of King Frederick II of Denmark, Anne married James in 1589 at age 15 and bore him three children who survived infancy, including the future
Charles I. She demonstrated an independent streak and a willingness to use factional Scottish politics in her conflicts with James over the custody of Prince Henry and his treatment of her friend Beatrix Ruthven.
Anne appears to have loved James at first, but the couple gradually drifted and eventually lived apart, though mutual respect and a degree of affection survived.
In England, Anne shifted her energies from factional politics to patronage of the arts and constructed her own magnificent court, hosting one of the richest cultural salons in Europe.
After 1612, she suffered sustained bouts of ill health and gradually withdrew from the centre of court life.
Though she was reported to have been a Protestant at the time of her death, evidence suggests that she may have converted to Catholicism at some point in her life.
Historians have traditionally dismissed Anne as a lightweight queen, frivolous and self-indulgent.
However, recent reappraisals acknowledge Anne's assertive independence and, in particular, her dynamic significance as a patron of the arts during the Jacobean age.
Barbara Ruthven
Barbara Ruthven( died 1625) Scottish courtier and favourite of Anne of Denmark, expelled from court after the death of her brother.
Barbabra Ruthven was a daughter of William Ruthven, 1st Earl of Gowrie and Dorothea Stewart, the oldest daughter of Henry Stewart, 1st Lord Methven and Janet Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, 2nd Earl of Atholl.
She was a maid of honour to Anne of Denmark with her sister Beatrix.
Beatrix had a prominent role at the christening of Princess Elizabeth in November 1596, for which the queen bought her a gown of figured black velvet with white sleeves and a yellow skirt.
James Hudson noted Barbara having a secret conversation with the Scottish ambassador Robert Crichton, 8th Lord Crichton of Sanquhar in May 1597.
The Earl of Gowrie and one of his brothers were killed in a struggle with James VI of Scotland on 5 August 1600 at Gowrie House in Perth.
After this, his sisters were protected by Anne of Denmark even though James wished them to be excluded from his presence, and had ordered them to be' thrust out' of Falkland Palace.
On 1 November 1600 Dorothea Stewart, who was staying at Dirleton Castle, hoped that the king could be persuaded to support her daughters," quhais estait is verie desolait" and she could not help them herself.
Two younger brothers went to Berwick- upon- Tweed and lived in hiding for a month, until the Marshall of the town Sir John Carey helped them travel to Durham and Cambridge.
Sir Robert Cecil, who was in the confidence of Anne of Denmark, helped Barbara travel to London.
Sir Robert Cecil understood that Anne of Denmark and Queen Elizabeth were agreed that Barbara should come to London in August 1602.
However, an agent of Elizabeth told James that she would not have any dealings with the Gowrie sisters.
Cecil wrote a letter, probably to the Master of Gray, explaining the delicate and flammable situation of Elizabeth receiving letters asking for the relief of' that house which is touched with the infamy of attempting the king's blood'.
Barbara was in London when on 25 December 1602 her sister Beatrix Ruthven was smuggled into the apartments of Anne of Denmark posing as a gentlewoman servant to Lady Paisley or Lady Angus, at the queen's request.
Roger Aston discussed with Anne of Denmark how her support for the Gowrie brothers and sisters and a suspected plot against King James may have dented her reputation in England.
Early in 1603 Barbara came to London again from Cambridge( where her brothers were) and had new clothes made for her.
James Hudson wrote to Sir Robert Cecil saying there were rumours she came to join Elizabeth's household or seek favours for her brothers.
Ruthven's appearance seemed striking and her speech foreign to the lawyer John Manningham who wrote,' I sawe this afternoone a Scottishe Lady at Mr. Fleetes in Loathebury; shee was sister to Earl Gowre, a gallant tall gentlewoman, somewhat long visage, a lisping fumbling language.
Peter Saltingstone came to visit hir' and' was with the Lady Barbara, Shee saith the King will not swear, but he will curse and ban at hunting, and wish the divel goe with them all'.
In May 1603 Cecil organised an exchequer payment to his steward Roger Houghton for £ 300 spent on Barbara Ruthven's relief, and she was later given a yearly pension of £ 200.
In Scotland early in 1604, the Earl of Mar heard an unlikely rumour that Cecil would marry Barbara Ruthven.
She was granted a royal pension of £ 200 yearly.
In 1622 Barbara Ruthven was the administrator of the will of Sir John Kennedy, appointed because his daughter Dorothy was too young to be executrix.
She was buried at Greenwich on 29 December 1625.
Beatrix married Sir James Home of Coldenknowes and died in Scotland.
There has been some confusion in edited sources with" Lady Ruthin", Elizabeth Talbot Grey, Countess of Kent, who became first lady of the bedchamber to Anne of Denmark in 1617.
