How did king James 1st die?

King James I of England (VI of Scotland) died on March 27, 1625, at Theobalds House in Hertfordshire. He was 58 years old. The cause of death is believed to have been a combination of factors, including a stroke and a tertian ague (a type of malaria).

According to contemporary accounts, James had been unwell for several months prior to his death, suffering from a variety of symptoms including chest pain, shortness of breath, and digestive issues. He had also been experiencing periods of erratic behavior and depression. On March 21, 1625, James suffered a severe stroke that left him paralyzed on the left side of his body. He was unable to speak or move, and his condition rapidly deteriorated.

James died six days later, surrounded by his family and advisors. He was buried in Westminster Abbey on April 5, 1625. His son Charles I succeeded him to the throne.

While the exact cause of death is unknown, it is believed that a combination of factors contributed to James' demise, including his declining health, the stroke, and the tertian ague. Some contemporary accounts also suggest that James may have been poisoned, but there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.
