James sought to remain in the favour of the unmarried Queen of England, as he was a potential successor to her Crown; his mother was the granddaughter of Margaret Tudor (Elizabeth I's aunt).
James faced a Roman Catholic uprising in 1588; he was forced to reconcile with the Church of Scotland, and at length agreed to the repeal of the Black Acts in 1592.
James died in 1625 of ague, probably brought upon by kidney failure and stroke, and was buried in the Henry VII Lady Chapel in Westminster Abbey.
