James the VI of scotland became James the I of England in 1603, and he started a new dynasty called the Stuarts. James the First never had the same popularity or charisma as queen Elizabeth I. He got a new translation of the Bible, which was called the King James version. It was published in 1611. It was hard to make money because of wars so there was a low income. They forced him to find other ways to make money. James believed that God had chosen him to rule. Therefore, he thought that the ultimate authority was his power, but he was willing to work with parliament. James the First died when he was 58 in 1625.
