My favourite pub quiz question is what is the relationship between James I of England and James VI of Scotland - they were the same person

The man who brought forward the union between england and scotland after centuries as rivals. A poetic conclusion really 😊😊😊😊😊

King James I is one of my favorite British royals because he was intellectual and curious about everything. I love that he wanted to meet Guy Fawkes in person so he could try to figure out what made Fawkes tick, instead of just dismissing him as a madman. And whatever my own views are on the Bible, I admire that he wanted to go back to the oldest writings he could so his translation was as close to the original meaning as he could make it. Thank you for the excellent work on these documentaries.

The gunpowder plot is the first terrorist attack on a king. Brilliant documentary.i love and admire your documentaries. We always appreciate your hard work and dedication towards these videos. Love from Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Also he founded his own bible . The uniter of Scotland and england. Also his rule and his absolute power led to the civil war in his son s time and led to a formation of a republic. Brilliant doc.

I couldn't imagine living with chronic kidney stones. And, no known treatment way back then. I've suffered from stones twice during my 20's. The pain becomes much worse the more you have them.

It's never too late to learn History. I finally can understand who the King James of Bible fame is, or was. History tends to jolt one, recognising the complexity inherent in thrones and kingdoms. So much war. So much of the ugly politics of government. So little wisdom. Makes one appreciate the relative peace we have at the moment. Thank you. Well presented and illustrated. Good job.

You failed to mention what he's best known for: The King James Bible.

The narrator sounds so articulate and authoritative.

Beautiful images, excellent narration, accurate scholarship and a balanced vision of the first Stewart king. Congratulations to the creators, who always make you discover the density of personality in the middle of history.

One of the better biographical videos I have seen on James. He was a complicated man. As noted, both remarkably well educated for the era, and at times breathtakingly inept in important matters of state. Regards his sexual preferences, much debated among historians, it is more likely that he was bisexual. Had he been truly homosexual it is most unlikely that he would have fathered as many children as he did, and there were at least two other failed pregnancies. He is also recorded as having a number of mistresses including most notably Anne Murray the Lady Glamis. All of which said, I find the arguments by some that he was not also physically attracted to men, to strain the bounds of credulity given the record of his reign and his numerous extremely close relationships with attractive young men.

Excellent coverage of much underappreciated monarch. His intelligence and good sense of survival and political governance compensated for his weakness in his choice of favorites. Perhaps if his son Henry had lived, his dynasty would have prospered. His reluctance over his son Charles was justified.

Love these videos; they encourage me to research more deeply into the things mentioned.

God bless you all. I cried so much watching this testimony, she is so eloquent and spoke the words even on my soul. How beautiful as a person see is and that amazing life she is living. God love you deeper and bless you abundantly

Can't wait to see your video on King Charles the 1st of England.

James was a truly man of his time and probably had done as a good job as anyone considering perceptions of the monarch and his role

James was highly underrated and I wholeheartedly admire his political skills.

Thank you for this amazing documentary 😊

He did very well if you consider what he faced. Kept England at peace wrote a treatise on kingship and statecraft so probably was an admirer of Alfred the great but had faults as we all do. If you compare him to John or Henry VI he probably deserves some kind of medal.

James 6th of Scotland House of Stuart was a literate, genious, inteligent King, I suspect the English did not like a Scotsman controllling England which was why so much hostility, Shakespeare's play MacBeth was penciled to show James 6th as the rightful King of Scotland and England, showing MacBeth as a savage warrior prince.
