James the VI became James the 1st in 1603 (On the death of Elizabeth I), when England & Scotland became 1 nation. James was the 6th Scottish but the first English king of that name. Actually King William III of England & Ireland, (King William II of Scotland), was the last King of Scotland. Queen Anne, who inherited the throne on King Williams death in 1702 became the last Monarch of Scotland, and coincidently, was also the last Monarch of England & Ireland as these two countries, united with Scotland on 1st May 1707, to form the Parliament of Great Britain. BTW to those that will answer that Ireland's Parliament was not united with Great Britains till 1st January 1801. That was a Parliament of Anglo-Irish Protestant aristocrats, that thanks to Poynings Act of the mid 15th Century, was totally subservient to the whims of the English Parliament, a Parliament that by the 1790's forbade Irish Catholics the Right to stand for this Parliament or even for Irish Catholics to have the vote. Hardly governmet of the people, by the people and for the people. :) Kenneth I MacAlpin - he was the first king.

Who did elizabeth take over the throne from?

Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, a long, long time before Queen Elizabeth II was born. You might be referring to the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, wife of George VI. She was never styled as Queen Elizabeth I or II though, because she was not a sovereign. She was a Queen Consort, the wife of a King, but had none of his powers, nor was she in line to the throne. When George VI died, the throne passed to the next in line, Elizabeth II.
