When Elizabeth I died in 1603 without an heir, the crown passed to James VI of Scotland, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. He became James I of England, uniting the crowns of England and Scotland for the first time. However, England and Scotland remained separate countries with their own parliaments and laws.
