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.
