I'm trying to improve my English by reading stuff and rewriting immediately after a text using my own words without looking at the original source. Therefore, I'd be very appreciative if you could spot any mistakes or unnatural words and sentences out there. Thank you!
After Elizabeth I died childless in 1603, James I of England and VI of Scotland became king (1603-1625), who had inherited the Scottish throne when he was only 13 months old. His childhood was turbulent, and later on married Anne of Denmark, with whom had 9 children. James I was a strong advocate of royal absolutism and the divine right of kings, which asserted kings derived their authority directly from God and, therefore, could not be held accountable for their actions by an earthly authority (such as Parliament), only by a divine authority. This earned him a reputation for narrow-mindedness and conflict with an increasingly self-asserted Parliament, which set the stage for the rebellion against his successor, Charles I. He commissioned a version of the Bible, which remained the standard text for more than 250 years - the King James’ Bible.

Some adjustments for clarity. I feel this is best split in two sentences.
His childhood was turbulent, and later onas an adult married Anne of Denmark, with whom had 9 children.
His childhood was turbulent, and as an adult married Anne of Denmark, with whom had 9 children.
going from childhood to marriage with the phrase "later on" is unexpected.
