James VI of Scotland, who later became James I of England, was Protestant primarily due to the political and religious landscape of the time. He was raised in a Protestant environment after the Reformation, which had significant influence in Scotland. His accession to the English throne in 1603 also aligned with political interests, as uniting England and Scotland under a Protestant monarch was seen as a way to stabilize both kingdoms and promote religious unity. Additionally, his Protestant faith helped him navigate the complex relationship between Catholics and Protestants in England.
