King James I, who previously ruled Scotland as King James VI, gained English throne following death of Queen Elizabeth I on this day in history, March 24, 1603.
Explorers, entrepreneurs and religious separatists left England to establish the first permanent British coloniesand Massachusetts; he supported contemporary playwright William Shakespeare and other artists; and the poetic English-language version of the Bible he commissioned sparked a transformative moment in the history of Christianity.
"He supported the Virginia Company of London's establishment in 1607 of the first permanent English colony in North America, the first settlement of which was named Jamestown in his honor," writes Encyclopedia Virginia in its online account of the monarch's impact on American history. "James was renowned for his intellectual abilities, his flamboyant generosity and his passion for hunting.
"James inherited the throne at the age of 13 months, after his mother was forced to abdicate in his favor. His reign [over Scotland] totaled 57 years and 246 days — longer than any of his predecessors." Mary, Queen of Scots found refuge in England from her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, after being forced to flee Scotland in 1567.
