England's King James I dies on March 27, 1625, and his son, Charles I, succeeds him as the second Stuart King of Great Britain and Ireland. Charles I's reign began with tensions with Parliament over finances and his marriage to the Catholic Henrietta Maria of France, ultimately leading to the English Civil War and his execution in 1649.
