Yes, King James started the project by Royal Decree in 1604, to prevent civil war between the Protestants and the Roman catholics, unite the country, and help consolidate the then-new Church of England. It was finished in 1611 and dedicated to him. (It did not commence under Elizabeth, who died in l603.)
