Born James Charles Stuart, he became the
King
of
Scotland
while he was 13
month
s old. In 1603, he became the successor to
Queen Elizabeth
, who died childless, to become
King James I
of
England
.
As he was
King
of both
Scotland
and
England
, he declared himself the King of what he called
Great Britain
. This signalled the end of the line of
Scottish
kings.
Amongst his famous acts are the creation of the
Union Jack
, which is now one of the worlds most famous flags, by combining the
St. Andrew's Cross
of
Scotland
with the
St George's Cross
of
England
.
Although the creation of
Great Britain
is probably his most
prestigeous
accomplishment
, it should be noted that he also sanctioned the creation of the
King James
bible
, which has been one of the most influential works of modern
Christianity
.
Although the monarchies were joined, the
parliament
s of the two countries were not joined until over one hundred years after James took the
throne
, in 1707.
