James I (1566-1625, known as King James VI of Scotland) was a protestant.

James practiced a presbyterian type of Puritanism, as this was the religion of Scotland. When he became King of England as well (July 25, 1603), he adopted a more Anglican Protestant form. This divided the Scots after his death.

Initially James Ist, was brought up a Calvinist in the Presbyterian Church in Scotland!

Later on he assumed the throne in England and converted to the English Church, describing himself as a Catholic, but refusing to acknowledge the papacy and subscribing to the Seven Councils.
