King James VI and I became king at 13 months then proceeded to live a colorful life. His legacy includes the world’s first English Bible, the creation of the Union Jack and having relationships with men while married. He produced seven children, including the future Charles I, who would be the first king in Europe to be beheaded. His obsession with the black arts lead to witch trials taking place throughout the country. Shakespeare wrote Macbeth as a tribute to King James I to caution against abuses of power and the instability which follows from political violence.
