I'm not sure if I can trust what I read on the internet, so I'll ask the internet. I know it wasn't quite hidden at the time. "King Elizabeth died and Written James inherited the throne" I believe was the quote. James was also noted for saying "Jesus had his John, and I have my George". Was the King that commissioned the bible we use today really that gay, or is it a myth?
In anticipation of an answer to your question in this thread, I'll take the liberty of pointing out that /u/plusroyaliste did a write-up on this topic a while back in /r/badhistory, which can be found here.
Queen, not written. From mobile. I'll learn to proof read one day
