James I becomes Ruler
He was a Scotish ruler for 20 years. He introduced the Divine right of the Kings which later on was used by his son, Charles. He was known as being a greedy, hatted, and an unappreciated king. His view on politics was to create more taxes to benefit him, not his country. http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uGShOtYdG_o/SVleEA7b_BI/AAAAAAAABb8/Goc5UiV_OI4/s320/charles%2B1&imgrefurl=http://swisstoni.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html&h=300&w=300&sz=10&tbnid=KTj76xUhesW8 -
