Jamie the Saxt's A Counterblaste to Tobacco
1997
King James VI of Scotland (Jamie the Saxt) became James I of England in 1603. This led to what is now known as the United Kingdom: indeed the flag, the Union Jack, is named after him. He was probably the best educated king to sit on a European throne, although he often lacked sagacity. He authorised a new translation of the Bible, now known as the King James Bible. He is also remembered for his abhorrence of smoking tobacco, which he ably expressed in A Counterblaste to Tobacco in 1604.
