My name is King James I and I am the first Puritan King who took over England after the great Queen Elizabeth. I am known for having the bible translated into English for the first time and we called it the King James Bible. One of my biggest successes as ruler was founding Jamestown in the newly acquired land of America.

My name is King Charles I and I am the king after James I, and I believe in the Divine right of kings. My feud with Parliament led me to dissolve the governed body multiple times without their permission. This quickly resulted in the English Civil War in 1642.

I am James II and I am the Roman Catholic brother of Charles II, Charles II had 12 illegitimate children so James II would be the last Roman Catholic King of England, Ireland, and Scotland. Because of the challenges with religion and many others, the Glorious Revolution of England began. I was overthrown peacefully, It solidified the Constitutional Monarchy, and laid the foundation for the English Bill of Rights that limited the powers of the monarch.

I am the daughter of King James II but I was raised Protestant unlike my father. I married my 1st cousin, William Orange, a Protestant Dutch Prime. When parliament completed the overthrow of King James II, they asked William and I to rule jointly as a Protestant alternative.
