Answer 1

Remember that for most of his life King James spoke for *Scotland*, which he was king of ever since he was a baby. He only got the chance to speak for  *England* in the last 10 years of his life after he succeeeded Elizabeth I in 1603.

And no, he wasn't known for holding his tongue or keeping his thoughts to himself. He loved to sound off on every subject he felt strongly about, from tobacco to witches!
