James I of England was already James VI of Scotland. His claim to the English throne was through his great grandmother, Margaret Tudor, eldest sister of Henry VIII. His mother was Mary, Queen of Scots, who was the daughter of James V of Scotland, son of Margaret Tudor. Henry VII's three children all died without children so James was next in line.
