Also called the Revolution of
1688, The Glorious Revolution happened with the overthrowing of King James II
of England (James VII of Scotland and James II of Ireland). A union of English
Parliamentarians overthrew him with the help of Dutch stadtholder William III
of Orange-Nassau (William of Orange). England’s invasion by William was
successfully completed with a Dutch army and fleet. This led him to his
ascension to the English throne as William III of England along with Mary II of
England, his wife. This is aggregated with the 1689 Bill of Rights document.
