A much less reliable account of the origins of the KJV is provided by
Richard Armour in It All Started with Columbus:
The Pilgrims were a branch of the Puritans, and were proud of their
family tree. They wore tall hats, which they had to take off when
they went inside because they attended a low church. This displeased
King James, who raised the roof. He demanded that they attend the
same church as he did. At least this is his side of the story, which
became known as the King James Version.
