The theory of divine right was developed by James VI of Scotland(1567–1625), and came to the fore in England under his reign as James I of England (1603–1625). Portrait attributed to John de Critz, c. 1605



Answer 2

Answer: In 1603 CE, James 1 of Stuart Dynasty became the King of England after the death of the last queen of Tudor dynasty. The King needed the approval of this Parliament to impose any tax or approve new laws. He did not want the Parliament to question him. He believed that the absolute powers of the king were given by God, so the Kings ruled by a Divine Right. This was called Divine Right Theory.
