Religion - James

• Gunpowder Plot 1605:

  • Oath of Allegiance 1606 being the result of the plot
  • Proved that Catholics were a threat
• Oath of Allegiance 1606 - Forced Catholics to declare their allegiance to James instead of the Pope
• Millenary Petition 1603 - List of requests calling for modification in the church services, freedom of ministers and the education requirements to be a minister
• Hampton Court Conference 1604:

  • Was the response to the millenary petition
  • Its only permanent achievement was the english translation to the King James bible
• Before the KJV, the english translation was the Geneva Bible which had marginalia that undermined evidence that defined Kingship for James. James removed the marginalia in the KJV and improved his authority rather than the Pope's
