He died on 27 March 1625 at age 58 at Theobalds Park, Hertfordshire, England, from kidney failure. He was buried at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London, England.
He gained the title of Duke of Rothesay on 19 June 1566. He gained the title of Prince James of Scotland on 19 June 1566. He succeeded to the title of 2nd Earl of Ross [S., 1565] on 10 February 1567. He succeeded to the title of 2nd Lord Ardmannoch [S., 1565] on 10 February 1567. He succeeded to the title of 2nd Duke of Albany [S., 1565] on 10 February 1567. He succeeded to the title of King James VI of Scotland on 24 July 1567. He was crowned King of Scotland on 29 July 1567 at Church of the Holy Rood, Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland. He was godfather for James Elphinstone, 1st Lord Coupar at his baptism. He succeeded to the title of King James I of Great Britain on 24 March 1603. He was crowned King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith on 25 July 1603 at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London. He was godfather for Sir James Howard, Lord Maltravers at his baptism on 17 July 1607. He was godfather for James Murray, 2nd Earl of Tullibardine at his baptism on 22 September 1617 at Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, England.
Although James married and had seven children, by nature he was homosexual and the appointment of favourites as advisers caused resentment. James had a Presbyterian background and the Roman Catholic conspirators who attempted to blow up the opening of Parliament on Tuesday 5 November 1605 were suitably dealt with. Robert Cecil and Francis Bacon were among his advisers but he had Sir Walter Raleigh executed for fighting in Spain's American colonies and would not tolerate privateering which had been so profitable in Elizabeth's reign. James's faculties declined as he grew older. He has an extensive biography in the Dictionary of National Biography. - [1]
