Which king's reign marked the end of Cecil's service?
James I
Charles I
Henry VIII
Edward VI
Answer
James I's reign marked the end of Cecil's service. Cecil, a key advisor to Elizabeth I, had played a significant role in shaping English policy during her reign. However, with the accession of James I in 1603, Cecil's influence waned. James favored his own advisors, and Cecil's role in government diminished. He retired from public life in 1612 and died two years later.
