	James VI of Scotland, James I of England
		James was an experienced monarch when he ascended the English throne, having been King of Scotland since his infancy.
		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).
		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).

		During his minority, James was rigorously instructed in the Protestant faith and given the education of a Renaissance scholar by his two tutors, George Buchanan and Peter Young.
