Where did the Glorious Revolution take place?

Answer 1

You pays your money and call the tune!

First the Glorious revolution was not Glorious and it wasn,t a Revolution. It was a hall and corner affair by men who hid in the shadows. It was the last act of the English reformation in a struggle between Anglican Catholicism and Protestantism! Ever since the reformation in England started the two forces of Protestantism/ Calvinism and Anglican Catholicism had stared at one another, circlng around like lion and jackal at a waterhole. Elizabeth refused to allow the Calvinists to challenge the Church and they couldn,t force the issue in case something awful happened to Eliza. Her death could mean a Romanist Claimant on the throne! It was a schottice that went on some 68 yrs till the accession of Charles thee First. By that time the threat of Rome had diminished, but was still flaunted by the Protestant Calvinist faction!The Calvinists took control of the Parliament and challenged the King politically and after his political collapse moved to challenge the Anglicans! Anglicans appealing to Charles rallied to oppose the Protestant Parliament. They lost anf the Church was abolished! The Presbyterian Church that followed 1646 to 1660 collapsed for lack of support from eeither Anglican laity or the Calvinist Army and in 1660 the Church and the Monarchy were restored!

For twenty five years there was a struggle between the Anglicans and the remnants of the Commonwealth, the latter didn't have to much success they had no support, memories of the republican fiasco were too recent.Then in Feb, 1685, Charles ii died and his brother a Roman,' Convert' took the throne. He was an honest idiot at the best. First he promised free religion to all Protestants! Then he extended that privilige to Romanists. The Protestants complained, many would rather have done without than share freedom of worship with the Roman Church! The English Catholics looked askance at both the others but accepted the idea of freedom of worship! Then James iind, in an excess of idiocy started to interfere with Anglican Sermons and permitting Romans freedom to excess. He put his favourites in to key Anglican positions and started to sack Anglican Officers and fill their places with Romanists! The Anglican leadership were suspicious to say the least! To them it looked like a rehearsal for a replay of the 1640/60 debacle that lost them their King, Archbishops ,Bishops and all their clergy as well as their Churches. When James ordered them to issue his proclamation from Anglican pulpits, they refused. It was to much like preparing their own funeral. James was shocked, he ordered them to stand trial for treason. The whole country was in an uproar as they were taken to prison their very guards and jailors knelt and asked for a blessing! After a trial that shocked them all, Anglican ,Roman and Protestant, they were found not guilty and the country went wild. James was shocked at the whole sequence of events and suffered a political collapse. As Richmal Compton was want to say in her Just William, novels, "Collapse of Stout Party".

The Anglican Church had opposed the schemes of the King and Papacy! It had won the fight, it was everyone's darling. But for the Anglicans they weren't too sure what had happeened! They didn't have to waite to long on the 10th, of June 1688, MQueem Mary Beatrice, James's wife bore him a son, James, Prince of Wales. This changed everything, it was expected that the Romanist Monarchy would end with James who was elderly, he died about 1702 A
