Who ruled England after Elizabeth I?

[anniebird]

James the First of England who was also James the Sixth of Scotland.

In fact he was already James the sixth of Scotland and then became James the first of England on the death of Elizabeth.

Thus he united the crowns of Scotland and England, which has been the case ever since.

James was the son of Mary Queen of Scots.
