James Stuart (1566-1625) was the son of Mary Queen of Scots and was King James VI of Scotland. He became King of England after the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603. It seems the cry went up in London: "The King is dead! Long live the Queen!". There can be little doubt that James was bisexual all his life. His male "favourites" were notorious and he had adjoining bedchambers with them. He married Anne of Denmark and had at least seven children with her. The British royal family descends from James I.
