What was the basis of William's claim to the throne of England?
He and his wife Mary were able to take over the throne of England and rule under a constitutional monarchy after King James II left England without a fight. King James believed he was a divine right monarch and had religious differences with Parliament. Parliament asked William of Orange to bring his army to England and overthroe King James. Catholicism was outlawed in England but James was attempting to reintroduce it since his second wife was Catholic. William and Mary took over as king and queen of England in 1688.William was of the bloodline of the kings of England so he had a blood claim to the English throne. His great aunt Emma was the queen of England and her son Edward was the King of England. William was a first cousin, once removed of King Edward.Better yet, though, King Edward promised both publicly and privately to name William the Conqueror as his successor to the English throne since Edward had no son of his own. But, on his deathbed, Edward succumbed to pressure from his wife's family, and instead named her nephew as his successor.William's claim to the crown of England was as good, if not better, than all other contenders to the throne.
