James I

The Ireland always was Catholic. James I sent a group of protestant people trying to convert Ireland's catholcs to Anglicanism. This conversion wasn't that gentile, because he thought in the divine right (the king has been chosen by god).

James was absoulutist and he didn't like the parliament, and he summoned it rarely, only when he needed money.

James was protestant so he wanted to make the people read the bible. He had made make a translation of the bible that's also used today: "James's translation of bible".

It started the Gunpouder plot ("il complotto della polvere da sparo"), where some people (commanded by Guy Fawkes) who didn't liked James wanted to blow up the parliament while the king and the parliament was inside. They were arrested before making it appened, and they were burned at the stake. Every 5th of november (the day when they wanted to blow up everything), also now, they burn some bonfires, with at the top with Guy Fawkes' symbol, to remember the five of november.
