Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) died on 24 March1603 after nearly 45 years on the throne, without issue and a cousin, James VI of Scotland (later James I), succeeded to the throne.

James I (1566 - 1625) was the great, great grandson of King Henry VII (1457 - 1509), the first Tudor monarch and father of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547). This line of descent was through Margaret Tudor (1489 - 1541), oldest daughter of Henry VII, who married James IV of Scotland. In fact, both parents of James I, were descended from Margaret Tudor. His mother being the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots (1542 - 1587), and his father, the equally ill-fated, Lord Henry Darnley (1545 - 1567).
