And King James came into it because he was trying to keep peace in his kingdom and a standardized text that people could read would help that. Hard to read a text when it's written in latin and you don't understand latin. Even a lot of church men had that problem. I understand the Apocrypha is somewhat historic or tradition of what happened or something which might be one reason why they felt it wasn't canon. I've never read it myself so I don't know much about it. It is more accepted than some of the 'alleged' gospels like Thomas and Judas though I think.
