Jacobean era (26 dic 1603 año – 13 ene 1660 año)

Descripción:

The Jacobean era refers to the period in English and Scottish history that coincides with the reign of James VI of Scotland (1567–1625), who also inherited the crown of England in 1603 as James I.[1] The Jacobean era succeeds the Elizabethan era and is often used for the distinctive styles of Jacobean architecture, visual arts, decorative arts, and literature which characterized that period.

The unification of England and Scotland under one ruler was an important shift of order for both nations and would shape their existence to the present day. Another development was the foundation of the first British colonies on the North American continent, which laid the foundation for future British settlement and the eventual formation of both Canada and the United States of America.

A notable event of James' reign occurred on 5 November 1605. On that date, a group of English Catholics attempted to assassinate the King and destroy Parliament in the Palace of Westminster. However, the Gunpowder Plot was exposed and prevented, and the convicted plotters were hanged, drawn, and quartered.
