James the 6th of Scotland. James the 1st of England.
He sought compromise between the puritan and Catholic factions, and hated both.
It has been suggested he was a pervert, that in order to be an important minister in his government, you had to be one of his "favourites" which is the equivalent of a male concubine.
In order to bring religious peace, or at least religious conformity, he imposed what is now known as the "King James Bible" - a task he confided to some of the greatest scholars of the kingdom. Greatest work of English literature of all time. In fact, it standardized the English language.
As for his youth, he was very unhappy at what he saw as a restrictive upbringing under Reformed Protestant masters (of the Scottish Kirk), after the death of his Catholic mother.

There is some question about the Birth of Mary's son. For many years, enemies of the line demonstrated with warming pans because it was rumored that Mary's child had died and a sub was slipped into the birth chamber in a warming pan. Historians dismissed the idea until a fetal skeleton was found behind a brick in that wall in the 1950's. It remains a question.
His mother, Mary Q of S., was beheaded by the Protestant advisers of Queen Elizabeth, but Elizabeth named James her hier on her death bed in 1603. He ruled as king from that year until his death in 1625.
He was called the "wisest fool in Christendom," and not without cause. On his progress from Scotland to London he made a George Bush blunder that preceded him to the city. Enroute, at some stopping point a pickpocket was cought in the crowd. James ordered him hanged on the spot. His new subjects tried to point out to their new king that in England an accused must be tried before justice can be carried out. James was irritated to have his sovereing power questioned, and ordered the man done up forth with, and he stayed to see is done. A terrible personal coward, like many of that stripe, he enjoyed the suffering of others.
He called an assembly of ministers to resolve the isse of religion in England, but he stopped it and railed against the Presbyterians because of the election of elders: it sounded too much like popular govt. Like all his line, he was attracted to the authoritarian character of the Roman Church at that time.
He married (Mary of Modena??) and had children, but he really liked pretty young men. One example prostituted himselt to the king and was made Duke of Buckingham for his acquiesence. An ignorant commoner, he acquired great and ruinous influence at court and determined major turns in foreign matters.
It was this Stuart line that articulated and developed the "divine right of kings," James was foremost. The theory was that kings were "God's Lieutenants" and to defy them was blasphemy and punishable by death. In James' case, evidently God did not equip his lieutenant with any very respectable level of judgment. He died having allienated the vast majority of his subjects and divided the country disastrously, leaving an unfinished war in his wake. Sound familiar?

He was obssessed with witches and the occult and trying to find them and kill them
Shakespeare wrote MAcbeth for him as he is a direct decendant of Banquo, it also has his other favourite topic in it, witches and it's also his shortest play, James was notorious for his short attention span!

James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray (c. 1531 - January 23, 1570) was Regent of Scotland from 1567 till his assassination in 1570.
Moray was the illegitimate son of James V of Scotland and Lady Margaret Erskine, daughter of John Erskine, 4th Earl of Mar.
After the return of his half-sister Queen Mary in 1561, he became her chief adviser. In 1562 he defeated a rebellion by George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly, at Corrichie near Aberdeen. About this time Moray married Anne (d. 1583), daughter of William Keith, 4th Earl Marischal.
After Moray opposed Mary's marriage to Lord Darnley in 1565, he was declared an outlaw and took refuge in England. Returning to Scotland after the murder of David Rizzio, he was pardoned by the Queen. He contrived, however, to be away at the time of Darnley's assassination, and avoided the tangles of the marriage with Bothwell by going to France. After the abdication of Queen Mary at Loch Leven, in July 1567, he was appointed regent of Scotland. When Mary escaped from Lochleven (May 2, 1568), the Duke of Chatelherault and other nobles rallied to her standard, but Moray gathered his allies and defeated her forces at the Battle of Langside, near Glasgow (May 13, 1568), and compelled her to flee to England. For this and the subsequent management of the kingdom he secured both civil and ecclesiastical peace, and earned the title of "The Good Regent."
Moray was assassinated in Linlithgow by Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh, a supporter of
