James (1566-1625) was I of Great Britain, the first to unite Scotland and England (and VI of Scotland). He was the successor to Elizabeth I of England. His mother was Mary, Queen of Scots, his father Lord Darnley. Strange that a charismatic lady should have given birth to James, with his large tongue and sickliness!
His wife was Anne of Denmark; his son Charles became the tragic Charles I, who was beheaded.
He encouraged and participated in the translation of the Bible into English - the King James Bible, still loved today. He also was possibly the first person to write an essay about the dangers of smoking, which he hated!
For much more information, and a lot of interesting facts about him, please go to:

A search on Google for "James the sixth of Scotland" will give extra information .. it was only after the union of the crowns that he became James 1 of England.
there were Charles 1, James 1 (James 6th Scotland), Commonwealth under the two Cromwells, Charles 2 and then James 2nd (James 7th of Scotland)

King James I of England was also King James VI of Scotland..
kentchatham has given some excellent links, but it's not really that hard to do your own searching.

==============================
And, NO, King James did not write nor translate the Bible. He Authorised the translation of the Bible by a group of scholars and appointed that it was to be read in the Churches.. [Have you ever read the "Epistle Dedicatory" in the front of the "King James Bible".]

He is the guy who wrote the King James version of the Holy Bible. And depending on how you look at it, he either translated it from Latin to English, or he totally changed the writings, and meanings while translating it.
