What about James children?

King James I (r. 1603-1625) of England had nine children:

1. Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales (1594-1612): Henry was the eldest son of James VI and I and was heir apparent to the English and Scottish thrones. Unfortunately, he died of typhoid fever at the age of 18, predeceasing his father.

2. Robert Stuart, Duke of Kintyre (1602): Robert was the second son of James VI and I, but he died in infancy.

3. Charles I (1600-1649): Charles succeeded his father as king of England, Scotland, and Ireland in 1625. His reign was marked by conflicts with Parliament, leading to the English Civil War and his eventual execution in 1649.

4. Elizabeth Stuart (1596-1662): Elizabeth was the eldest daughter of James VI and I. She married Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and became Queen of Bohemia. However, their reign was short-lived as they were defeated in the Thirty Years' War and forced into exile.

5. Margaret Stuart (1598-1600): Margaret was the second daughter of James VI and I, but she died in childhood.

6. Mary Stuart (1605-1607): Mary was the third daughter of James VI and I, but she also died in infancy.

7. Sophia of Hanover (1630-1714): Sophia was the youngest daughter of James VI and I, and she played a significant role in British history. She was the mother of George I, who became the first Hanoverian monarch of Great Britain in 1714.

8. Charles Stuart, Duke of Albany (1607): Charles was the fourth son of James VI and I, but he died shortly after birth.

9. Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester (1640): Henry was the youngest son of Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria. He died of smallpox in 1660, shortly before the restoration of the monarchy in England.
