How Did King James I Influence The Elizabethan Era

Improved Essays
My main focus of this research project was to find any clues leading to how King James IV/I influenced the Elizabethan Era. I have fully concluded that the young king made quite a large impact on those who lived during these times, all with his mighty intelligence. According to a website named Scotland's Mary, he was crowned king at thirteen months. This was due to his mother being forced to abdicate and his father being murdered. (A Short History of James VI of Scotland). The young child was forced to grow up at an exceedingly rapid pace. His actions as the future leader would shape and inspire many civilians lives, for both the good and bad.

King James I was, arguably, one the most intelligent kings to rule of England. The young king

    King James Criticism

    However his rule was highly influenced by his personality and his ability to negotiate and to concede to his opponents, a quality his successor did not possess. Contrary to many rulers (especially contrary to his direct predecessor and follower) James was less radical and did not imposed, as forcefully as some others might have done, his principles or idea on his people to their breaking point. This had, for a long time, been seen as a weakness but his recent rehabilitation rather points out that this attitude proved efficient and the key to James success. Nowadays James implication in the civil wars of the 1640s is lessened and the fault is mostly accorded to his son Charles, who was stricter and refused many of his father's ideologies or opinions.…

    While often regarded as an Elizabethan playwright, Shakespeare’s career straddled two epochs: the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1562 to 1603) and the reign of King James (1603 to 1625). While it is notoriously difficult to find details about Shakespeare’s personal life, he taps into what was happening around him in his writing. This was the year in which two of Shakespeare’s best-known plays were crafted: Macbeth and, the subject of this notebook, King Lear. The latter play tells the story of the titular King Lear, who at the start of the play demands declarations of love from his three daughters (Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia), that he might divide the kingdom among them based on their devotion to him.…

    On June 29, 1613, during Shakespeare's play, Henry V, a cannon was used to add flair to the arrival of King Henry; however, the outcome was not a dignified entrance. The special effect resulted in a grand exit. The wadding, cloth put inside the cannon, was fired out of the cannon. It landed on the roof and ignited a fire which burnt down the famous Globe Theatre (Allison 68). Most special effects used during the Elizabethan Era did not cause any destruction; therefore, stage crews felt comfortable adding them to the plays.…
