to bring peace
Ironically, it was the death of Queen Elizabeth the First that brought about the union of England and Scotland; James I (of England, VI of Scotland) became king of both countries.
In 1603, the Union of the Crowns occurred when King James VI of Scotland ascended to the English throne as James I after the death of Queen Elizabeth I. This event marked the beginning of a personal union between Scotland and England, as both crowns were held by the same monarch. However, Scotland and England remained separate sovereign states until the formal political union in 1707.
1707
The Parliaments of England and Scotland were merged by the 1707 Act of Union. However, England and Scotland had a shared King from 1603 when James VI of Scotland became James I of England.

As Queen Elizabeth the 1st died and she had no heirs (children) the only person was King James the 6th of Scotland who became King James the 1st of England. That is how England joined Scotland
James Which Act of Union- that of England and Wales or England and Scotland? If the former, then this was enacted by King Henry VIII in 1536.
In 1603, on the death of Elizabeth I (of England) King James VI of Scotland also became King James I of England. It was a personal union only - that is, England and Scotland had the same monarch but were still separate and independent countries. James I did soon call himself 'King of Great Britain' (for example on coins), but this referred to a geographical country only, not to a political entity. He also had the flags of England and Scotland combined for use by warships only, but the new flag wasn't popular, and there is some doubt as to whether it was used much. The political union - the establishment of the United Kingdom of Great Britain - dates from 1707.
