Best Answer

James VI of Scotland is also James I of Great Britain.

His father was Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley.

His mother was Mary, Queen of Scots, famously executed by Elizabeth I of England.

Both parents could claim descent from Henry VII of England, hence James's succession to the English throne upon Elizabeth I's death.

Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Henry Stuart of Darnley were James VI's parents, though he did not know either of them particularly well.
