ABOUT KING JAMES I
In 1604, King James I of Great Britain specially commanded the translation of what came to be known as the Authorized (King James) Version of 1611 of the Bible. He is also the founding monarch of the United States. Jamestown, Virginia, established in 1607, is named after King James and is known as, "America's birthplace" and "Where America began." Click here to see various signs found in Jamestown, VA as well as a few of the other of King James' namesakes' found in the region. Also see, Chronicles of the United States of America: From Adam to Jamestown to Independence--and Beyond (this work in progress shows a trail of significant events from the time of the infamous Roman Catholic attempt to kill king James unto the current day).

- King James and the Defense of the Right of Kings ("It is often mentioned that King James VI & I spoke about the divine right of kings, but many do not know why he did this. They may think that they know, but they have not read the king's workes for themselves--what they "know" is what somebody told them. They just accepted the interpretation of a professor, textbook author, etc.")
- King James and the Divine Right of Kings ("In the minds of many, the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings is closely (if not exclusively) associated with King James VI & I. It is important to note, however, that the Divine Right of Kings (the idea that kings are accountable to God alone), neither began nor ended with King James.")
