    • Trivia
      King James I, as listed in the credits, was only King James I of England and Ireland. He was additionally King James VI of Scotland. Although the crowns were united in 1603, the countries remained separate sovereign states until the United Kingdom was formed by the Act of Union in 1707, long after the death of King James I/VI.
