'''James VI and I''' (19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was [[King of Scotland]] as James VI, and [[King of England]] and [[King of Ireland]] as James I. He was the first [[monarch]] to be called the king of [[Great Britain]]. He ruled in [[Scotland]] as James VI from 24 July 1567 until his death and he ruled in England and Scotland from 24 March 1603 until his death. <br />
<br />
His reign was important because it was the first time England and Scotland had the same [[monarch]]. He was the first monarch of England from the [[House of Stuart]]. The previous English monarch had been [[Elizabeth I of England|Elizabeth I]]. She had died without any children, so the English agreed to have a Scottish monarch because James was the son of [[Mary, Queen of Scots]], thus the closest relative Elizabeth had. By being king of both, he created a [[personal union]].<br />
<br />
James fought often with the [[Parliament of England]]. In addition, he did not use the kingdom’s money well. While James was ruling, the Scottish and English governments were quite stable. After James died, his son [[Charles I of England|Charles]] tried to rule in the same way as James, but caused the [[English Civil War]]. At the end of the war in 1649, Charles was executed.<br />
<br />
James was very well educated and good at learning. He helped people in England and in Scotland to study things such as [[science]], [[literature]], and [[art]]. James wrote ''[[Daemonologie]]'' in 1597, ''The True Law of Free Monarchies'' in 1598, ''Basilikon Doron'' in 1599, and ''A Counterblaste to [[Tobacco]]'' in 1604. He sponsored the [[Authorized King James Version]] of the Bible.<br />
<br />
James was a target of the [[Gunpowder Plot]]. A group of Catholics planned to blow up the [[Houses of Parliament]] on 5 November [[1605]] during a ceremony while James was in the building. The plot was stopped when a member of the group, [[Guy Fawkes]], was found in a basement with barrels of [[gunpowder]]. The event is remembered every year on 5 November, also known as [[Bonfire Night]],where many people decide to celebrate and light bonfires and fireworks.<br />
<br />
James believed in witchcraft. When he read ''[[The Discoverie of Witchcraft]]'', he ordered all copies of the book to be burnt.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.clements.umich.edu/exhibits/online/bannedbooks/entry2.html |title=Dangerous Ideas: The Discoverie of Witchcraft |access-date=2013-06-02 |archive-date=2013-01-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130125003305/http://www.clements.umich.edu/exhibits/online/bannedbooks/entry2.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> The king had an importance with the first English settlers.<br />
<br />
The first permanent English established settlement in North America was made under the charter granted by James to [[Sir Thomas Gates]] and other in 1606.<br />
