/kloc-Before the 7th century, England and Scotland were two completely independent kingdoms. 1603, after the death of Queen Elizabeth I, dramatic changes took place. The queen died, but she was not married and had no children. As a result, the British throne passed to her cousin James. James is the king of Scotland and is called "James VI". After he succeeded to the throne, the result was that Britain and Scotland had the same monarch and merged into one country. In this way, James also became the "King of James I".

1606, James VI and I ordered the production of a British flag. This flag is the basic part of the present British flag. It is a cross between St. George and St. Andrew. Because of James, the British flag is combined by the flags of two countries. Since then, the British flag has been called the "British flag". James' Latin is Jacobs, and Jack is the abbreviation of Jacobs.
