The explanation for King James’ inclusion in their document is equally slightly more complicated. The primary reason for his inclusion in the Mayflower Compact is that as the settlers had landed outside of the jurisdiction of the Virginia charter, the legality of their future settlement under English law was dependent on the King of England…
