29. King James I of England Received Land When He Married Anne
Like many people of her social status, Anne of Denmark came with a dowry of land. The future King James I of England, known as King James VI of Scotland at the time of his marriage, didn’t always like his wife, but he enjoyed the additional land.
The land, northern Orkney isles, wasn’t the only part of Anne’s Dowry. Anne’s family also sent her hundreds of thousands of pounds. Of course, Anne continued to have her attitude. While this wasn’t part of the dowry, it stayed with Anne, and she often sought revenge after their nasty arguments.
