King James I of England (or James VI of Scotland) reigned after Elizabeth I and continued the "Golden Age" of Elizabethan drama and literature. However, he was also known as "the wisest fool in Christendom." The people opposed his choice to unify the crowns of Scotland and England. After the unsuccessful Gunpowder Plot (intended to blow up the Parliament House), he dismissed Parliament because of disagreement, and his objection of the Great Contract (in which he would grant royal concessions in turn for money to pay off his debt due to his incompetent fiscal management). He then went on to enforce Catholicism, but let loose after a while and published the King James Version of The Bible.
For all of his neglection of business in preference for leisure, and court corruption, his death was widely mourned, as his people had enjoyed relative peace and low taxation in the Jacobean Era.

Was King James 1 slave owner?
King James I of England (and VI of Scotland) like all his Stuart heirs (Charles II, James II, Mary II, William III and Queen Anne) happily funded the slave trade and, in the case of the later Stuart monarchs (and three quarters of the British Nobility) made absolute fortunes in it! Contrary to 'some' strange 'opinions' James was most certainly not 'fond' of black africans but treated the few he got his hands on with abysmal cruelty. On his marriage to Queen Anne in the deapth of a Scandanavian winter, he made two of his black slaves dance naked in the snow the better to show up their 'blackness' against the white landscape. They subsequently died of the cold.

Well, honey, King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England when he inherited the English throne in 1603. So, he ended up with two titles because he was the sixth King James of Scotland and the first King James of England. It's like getting a two-for-one deal, but with crowns.
What two kings did William shakespeare write for?
Shakespeare did not write for any kings. He wrote for his theatre company, which after 1603 was sponsored by King James I, but this sponsorship was just like the sponsorship of a sports team--the sponsor had nothing to do with the day-to-day management of the company. And not only did he have no relationship with Queen Elizabeth, apart from occasionally performing in front of her, but she was obviously a queen and not a king
