Within a year of King James commissioning a Bible in the language of the common folk two Pope's died and the new one was connected to the gunpowder plot, attempted to overthrow the Venetian government because they held that the corrupt papal agents weren't above the law which resulted in the expulsion of the Jesuits, and the piece of shit was the founder of the first central bank.
I would say he was, at least on the scale of Monarchs, a pretty good one that God certainly used well for his works.
1604 he ordered the translation of the Bible. 1605 they tried to blow him up. 1606 he signed the charters for Plymouth and London company that started the British colonisation of America. He presided over a period of relative peace calling himself "Rex Pacificus" King of Peace, keeping Britain out of Europe's problems and also a period of relative unity between England and Scotland.
I can't say if he was good or bad, I can say he's a nexus point in history that led to the point we're at now.
Wow...the King James Version to boot! The winning is already strong, and I'll never get tired of it!

I'm having a hard time parsing this.
Was King James, the monarch, good or bad for this?
