Uncommon card · No. 105452

The Jacobean era was the period in English and Scottish history that coincides with the reign of James VI of Scotland, who also inherited the crown of England in 1603 as James I. The Jacobean era succeeds the Elizabethan era and is followed by the Caroline era. The term Jacobean is often used for the distinctive styles of Jacobean architecture, visual arts, decorative arts, and literature which characterized that period. The word Jacobean is derived from Neo-Latin Jacobaeus from Jacobus, the Ecclesiastical Latin form of the English name James.
