James I (1566–1625), King of England and VI of Scotland. He became King of Scotland in 1567 on the abdication of his mother, Mary, Queen of Scots, and he succeeded to the English throne on Elizabeth I's death (1603) by virtue of his mother's descent from Henry VII. On his way to London he was presented by the Puritans with the Millenary Petition. He heard their case at the Hampton Court Conference (1604); he offered concessions, but he also expressed his opposition to Presbyterianism and upheld the connection between the Divine Right of Kings and Apostolic Succession. He authorized a new translation of the Bible (the ‘Authorized Version’ of 1611). He favoured lenient treatment for RCs, though the Gunpowder Plot (1605) provoked stricter laws against the Recusants. During his reign the influence of the clergy at court increased. In Scotland in 1610 he persuaded the Assembly of the Church to agree to the introduction of episcopacy and eventually got the Articles of Perth accepted. In 1618 he issued the Book of Sports, approving lawful games on Sunday.
