In the year of 1688 through 1689 it lead where to the deposition of James the second and the ascension of william the third and mary the second sent to the english throne those were some of the events known as the glorious revolution there was alot happening in religions, in decisions made in courts and parliament, politics, in to which religion would be dominant, later on james the second was on throne, he was a catholic king wanting to change the state relegion of england then after A number of Whigs and Tories entered into an alliance and a letter, signed by seven of them, then carried to Holland by an admiral disguised as a sailor. This letter invited William and Mary to bring an army to England to drive out James the second.
and even though James wanted to battle and had a large amount of army men against william of orange he couldnt do anything becuase so many officers and his men had left to the other side deserting thier king. james the second could not do anything so he fled and was soon exiled and thats when the glorious revoltion had ended. later on mary his daughter since he was married to william they soon afterwards became king and queen of england.
I think this was really important to know that, of a king trying to break the rules a bit by changing relegions of a state and fighting back by dethroning james for their religios rights which at the end it kind of backfired on king james.
