In IRL -James Ist nearly had John Rolfe, husband of Pocahontas , placed in the Tower for the scandal of marrying a royal (James considered Pocahontas a "princess") without his permission. After meeting Rolfe's wife, James Ist decides not to but does write a book condemning the use of Tobacco.

Now for the new idea... I just had...

What if King James was single at the time? What kind of scandal would happen if James married Pocahontas instead producing the next King? Would it give him and his heirs better claims on North America?
