sentences:  James VI and I and the English Parliament
  
  James I, the first king to reign in both England and Scotland, faced many difficulties with the Parliament of England.Though recent studies have shown that the Parliament of Scotland may have been more of a thorn in his side than was previously believed, James developed his political philosophy of the relationship between monarch and parliament in Scotland and never reconciled himself to the independent stance of the English Parliament and its unwillingness to bow readily to his policies.
