Elizabeth I died without issue (childless), so the succession passed to a cousin, James VI of Scotland, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. When he took the throne after Elizabeth's death in 1603, he became James I of England. James and Elizabeth were both descended from Henry VII, and James was legitimately the next in line to the throne.
