Best Answer

When James 1 succeeded Elizabeth in 1603, there were at least three popular versions of The Bible at that time: The Geneva Bible, the Great Bible and the Bishop's Bible. In October, 1603, he called a conference, to meet in Hampton Court Palace, in the coming January, "for hearing and for the determining things pretended to be amiss in the Church." Out of this began the movement for the version of the English Bible, which became known as the King James Version because King James promoted and authorised it.
