Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
James VI and I (19 June 1566 — 27 March 1625) was King of Scots as James VI, and King of England and King of Ireland as James I!. He ruled in Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567, when he was only one year old, succeeding his mother Mary, Queen of Scots!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you mean when he became James 1st of England or James 6th of Scotland!? I'm not sure exactly how old he was but he couldn't have been terribly young when he became king of England because he'd written books and things before he became king!.
I imagine Charles had a lot of advisors that told him a lot of different things, it might be worth finding out which ones and what matter!. I think he may have been misadvised on the small matter of whether he could beat Cromwell or notWww@QuestionHome@Com
