His answer: The King James Bible.

1611: the King James version of the Holy Bible was issued

7 years of labor by the best translators and theological minds of the day.

It remained the authoritative, though not necessarily accurate, version of the Bible for centuries.

Charles I (son of James) is not getting what he wants

Dissolves parliament

Heavily taxes the people starts a Civil war with Parliament and is beheaded
