An interesting fact I came across reading my local newspaper. In 1606 an English captain was approached by a Spaniard who offered him £40,000 to assasinate King James I while he was visiting Royston (a town not to far from me) on a hunting trip. The captain refused and history went on as it did.

Suppose though, that the captain was a bit weaker, takes the Spainard's offer and shoots King James before the year is out. The Prince of Wales, Henry Frederick, ascends to the thrones of England and Scotland at the age of 12.

What then?
