James I Died by Poisoning
James I, the first Stuart king of England, who ruled from 1603 until he died in 1625, is at the center of a longstanding rumor that he was poisoned by a hostile foreign power. This speculation stems from the tense international relations of his reign, including conflicts and diplomatic standoffs with Spain and France.
His death, following a series of health issues, was sudden and mysterious enough to fuel theories of foul play. Given James I’s involvement in various espionage and counter-espionage activities—commonplace in the Jacobean period—suspicions of assassination attempts by foreign entities have lingered, casting light on the intricate web of European politics.
