Ιακωβιανή εποχή: Διαφορά μεταξύ των αναθεωρήσεων

Το πιο αρνητικό επεισόδιο της βασιλείας του Ιακώβου συνέβη στις [[5 Νοεμβρίου]] [[1605]]. Αυτήν την ημέρα, μια ομάδα Άγγλων Καθολικών (ο πιο διάσημος, στις νεότερες γενεές ήταν ο [[Γκάι Φοκς]]) προσπάθησε να ανατινάξει τον Βασιλιά και το [[Κοινοβούλιο]] στο [[Παλάτι του Ουεστμίνστερ]]. Παρόλα αυτά, η [[Συνωμοσία του Μπαρουτιού] αποκαλύφθηκε και αποτράπηκε και οι καταδικασμένοι συνωμότες [[κρεμάστηκαν, πνίγηκαν και διαμελίσθηκαν]].

 

The marriage of James' daughter Princess [[Elizabeth of Bohemia|Elizabeth]] to [[Frederick V, Elector Palatine]] on February 14, 1613 was more than the social event (or celebrity wedding) of the era; the couple's union had important political and military implications. Frederick and Elizabeth's election as King and Queen of [[Bohemia]] in 1619, and the conflict that resulted, marked the beginning of the disastrous [[Thirty Years' War]]. King James' determination to avoid involvement in the continental conflict, even during the "war fever" of 1623, appears in retrospect as one of the most significant, and most positive, aspects of his reign.

 

==Emergence of tobacco==

In the domain of customs, manners, and everyday life, the Jacobean era saw a sweeping change with the growing prevalence of [[tobacco]] use. James I published his ''[[A Counterblaste to Tobacco]]'' in 1604, but the book had no discernible effect; by 1612, London had 7000 tobacconists and smoking houses. The [[Virginia colony]] survived because the English acquired the nicotine habit.
