Question from Jess - James' ascension to the throne

When Elizabeth died, did she decide to have James on the throne or did he just automatically assume it. I don't think she favored the Stuarts that much so it's kind of surprising that she would name one to the throne, although he was of her relation...

Elizabeth did name James as her successor and their was only one other person who was related. Arabell Stuart because she was part Tudor and part Stuart but her claim was denied
