The Stuarts: A Bloody Reign S01E01 - King James I

In the opening episode, following the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, King James VI of Scotland claimed the throne along with a new title of King James I of England. He faced numerous attempts on his life, including the notorious Gunpowder Plot, and the threat of the terrifying Thirty Years War which was raging on the continent. For the aristocratic Wynn family of North Wales though, this new reign of the Stuarts provided great opportunities, but also some terrible dangers.
