| | James I of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the early years of his reign, many of his subjects did not know his policies—only that he had an extreme Protestant background—there were a number of plots to remove him from power, such as the Bye Plot and the Main Plot. | | | In 1605, a group of Catholic extremists led by Robert Catesby developed a plan, known as the Gunpowder Plot, to cause an explosion in the chamber of the House of Lords, where the King and members of both Houses of Parliament would be gathered for the State Opening. | | | Guy Fawkes, whose responsibility had been to execute the plot, was tortured until he revealed the identities of the other conspirators, all of whom were executed or killed during capture. |

| | The Rye House Plot of 1683, a Protestant conspiracy to assassinate both Charles and the Duke of York, failed utterly; it increased popular sympathy for the King and his brother. | | | His subjects distrusted his religious policies and alleged despotism, leading a group of them to depose him in the Glorious Revolution. | | | These policies caused the King to lose the support of his former allies, the Tories. |

| | Nor does he identify with the Jacobites, those supporters of James II who continued to champion his cause and that of his heirs. | | | But what if James fell, not because he was arrogant and obtuse, but because he held ideas and convictions that were centuries ahead of their time? | | | But Sowerby believes that James was making a genuine attempt to reach out to Quakers. |

| | After the Gowrie conspiracy of 1600, James repressed the Protestants as strongly as he had the Catholics. | | | Scotland was at that time divided domestically by conflict between the Protestants and the Roman Catholics, and in foreign affairs by those favoring an alliance with France and those supporting England. | | | James tried unsuccessfully to advance the cause of religious peace in Europe, giving his daughter Elizabeth in marriage to the elector of the Palatinate, Frederick V, the leader of the German Protestants. |

| | However, when a male heir to James was born, in 1688, Tory and Whig leaders joined together and decided to set aside the Catholic line of kings. | | | Having lost the support of Parliament and his subjects, he was forced to abdicate. | | | The hatred felt for the second of these, because of his attempts to rule despotically and to restore the Roman Catholic religion, is probably the most important reason why the name fell into disuse. |

| | Contemporary Review: James Russell Lowell And England |
| | While some of this work involved such traditional diplomatic activity as catering to compatriots stranded, penniless, or in some other difficulty in England, much was also devoted to two troublesome affairs. | | | Unlike some other of his compatriots who lived for extended periods in England, Lowell remained distinctly American and was consistently watchful for any slight to his country. | | | The latter, Lowell declared, gave him 'the impression of a man of sentiment who seeks refuge from a sense of his own weakness in strong opinions (or at any rate the vehement assertion of them) as men reassure themselves by talking aloud in the dark'. |

| | Religion and politics were intertwined throughout James' public life. | | | James' attempts to force Catholicism on England and regain prerogative doomed his reign. | | | Within months of his accession, James had to crush a rebellion of Protestants who rallied around his nephew James, Duke of Monmouth and son of Charles II. |

| | This dissatisfaction led to a conspiracy to replace James with his estranged daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange, both dedicated Protestants. | | | When he came to power, his open admittance of being Roman Catholic, was considered manly compared to his brother who only admitted his religious outlook on his death bed. | | | Attempts had already been made, unsuccessfully, to exclude him from the succession. |

| | There is correspondence which survives in which James addresses his cupbearer, the young George Villiers, later Duke of Buckingham, as his "sweet child and wife." Though it was a well-kept secret, rumours of James' homosexual tendencies abounded; ironically, he wrote sternly against its practice in one of his own works, Basilicon Doron (1599). | | | James created more knights before his coronation than Elizabeth did over the whole period of her reign (and most of those were not created by the Queen, but by imprudent military commanders, such as Essex). | | | James was an experienced monarch when he ascended the English throne, having been King of Scotland since his infancy. |

| | Continuing his religious campaign, James had Catholics promoted to high-status positions while he appointed the 'Bloody Assizes' to execute, torture or enslave Protestant rebels. | | | Although his accession was auspicious - he was greeted with enthusiasm and stepped into a strong executive office, inheriting a faithful Tory-dominated Parliament - his determination to impress Catholicism on his subjects was ill considered and corrupted a sensible approach to politics. | | | Within days of James' accession, Protestants were rallying around Charles' son, James, Duke of Monmouth, whom they believed should be king. |

| | Although he believed that kings took their authority from God, James accepted that his actions were subject to the law. | | | James himself was fairly tolerant in terms of religious faith, but the Gunpowder Plot (an attempt by Guy Fawkes and other Roman Catholic conspirators to blow up the Houses of Parliament) in 1605 resulted in the reimposition of strict penalties on Roman Catholics. | | | As an arts patron, James employed the architect Inigo Jones to build the present Banqueting House in Whitehall, and drama in particular flourished at his court. |

| | James attempted to promote the Roman Catholic cause by dismissing judges and Lord Lieutenants who refused to support the withdrawal of laws penalising religious dissidents, appointing Catholics to important academic posts, and to senior military and political positions. | | | Despite his conversion, James II succeeded to the throne peacefully at the age of 51. | | | Fear of Catholicism was widespread (in 1685, Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes which gave protection to French Protestants), and the possibility of a standing army led by Roman Catholic officers produced protest in Parliament. |
