King James II of England had lost the confidence of his people because he (a Roman Catholic himself) had tried to formally re-establish the Catholic Church in England and restore full political rights to his Catholic subjects. This was met with much resistence, because the Catholics in England had (mostly unjustly) become widely distrusted in English society.
When King James tried to force the issue by dismissing judges, bishops and members of Parliament opposed to his plans and by filling the higher army ranks with Catholics, the political leaders of England invited his son in law, Dutch - and Protestant - prince William of Orange, to come over with an army and together with his wife, king James' daughter Mary, take over from king James.
He did, in 1688, and quickly ousted king James. This revolution has ever since been called "glorious" because king William - coming from The Dutch republic where Parliament traditionally was the highest power in the State - had no problem with granting important new powers to the British Parliament and diminishing te powers of the King. Among those new powers were the power of budget and taxation, and the ultimate right of Parliament to convene regularly and not only when called by the king. Also, the King could no longer dispense with or ignore laws passed by Parliament.
