James I was the son of which queen?

• A. Elizabeth I
• B. Mary Queen of Scots
• C. Anne Boleyn

Answer: (B)

James I of England (who is also James VI of Scotland) was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary ruled Scotland and, after a turbulent reign and abdication, gave birth to James. He later inherited the English throne in 1603 when Elizabeth I died, uniting the crowns of Scotland and England. The other women listed were not his mother: Elizabeth I was his predecessor in England, while Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon were mothers of Elizabeth I and Mary I, respectively.
