After Elizabeth I (otherwise known as "The Virgin Queen" for she never married) died in 1603, James I became King of England. He'd already been King of Scotland for 36 years upon her death and was related to Elizabeth I through her father's (Henry VIII) sister Margaret's daughter, Mary, Queen of Scots, she (Mary) being his mother.
