Scotland and England had a king who was VI and I at the same time. Another king, born in the 11th century, also became VI and I. Who was he, which was he of where, and what did he have in common with Henry VIII?

I think we're talking about Alfonso VI of Leon -- Alfonso I of Castile. He was the second son of his father, King of Castile, and gained that throne when his older brother died. He also married several times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_I_%28of_Castile%29 Aug 30 06, 11:54 AM

There was a James that was James VI of Scotland, but was also James I of England, or vice versa. I'll have to check on that. Aug 30 06, 1:30 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_I_of_England Here's the address to where I found this. James VI of Scotland/James I of England and Ireland (Charles James Stuart) (June 19, 1566 – March 27, 1625) was King of England, King of Scots, and King of Ireland and was the first to style himself King of Great Britain. He ruled in Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567. Then from the 'Union of the Crowns', in England and Ireland as James I, from 24 March 1603 until his death. He was the first monarch of England from the House of Stuart, succeeding the last Tudor monarch, Elizabeth I, who died without issue. Aug 30 06, 2:27 PM
