King James I of England (and VI of Scotland) like all his Stuart heirs (Charles II, James II, Mary II, William III and Queen Anne) happily funded the slave trade and, in the case of the later Stuart monarchs (and three quarters of the British Nobility) made absolute fortunes in it! Contrary to 'some' strange 'opinions' James was most certainly not 'fond' of black africans but treated the few he got his hands on with abysmal cruelty. On his marriage to Queen Anne in the deapth of a Scandanavian winter, he made two of his black slaves dance naked in the snow the better to show up their 'blackness' against the white landscape. They subsequently died of the cold.
