01.08 - The King of Great Britain

With the death of Elizabeth, the King of Scots travels south to
take up his new kingdoms of England and Ireland. James faces an
uphill challenge; his rulership style is vastly different to
Elizabeth's, and he inherits a number of serious problems. Adding
to this is James' insistence on political union between his two
larger kingdoms; he wants to become King of a single Great Britain.
