You need to read the source link below on the history of its making. In general, the times were a changing - Elizabeth had pretty much helped to smooth the ruffled feathers and bloody rampages of Catholic/Protestant strife before her time, but King James needed to differentiate the Church of England still more from the Catholic Church. One of the solutions was to produce a readable Bible for all, since prior to this time the translations from Latin had become a bit off standard from the Hebrew and Greek originals. The King James version became the 'gold standard' and remains the most popular and easily the most beautifully written. It has some flaws in translation when compared to the original texts - going back to the council of Nicea around AD 325 where the texts were chosen or rejected for incusion in the official Bible. However, plenty of resources provide insght and alternative translations if you feel the King James version missed a fine point here or there.
