Image of James VI and I
On this day, James VI and I, born in 1566, played the royal game across Scotland and England. From English subsidies to witch trials, his reign was anything but dull. Coronation in 1603 sealed his fate. 👑 #History #JamesVIandI

#JamesVIandI (James Charles Stuart; 19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I until his death in 1625. Also very gay. And changed the new Bible. Christians are gay...is that why they hate gays?
