James, Duke of York, was born on October 14, 1633, and was the second son of King Charles I of England. He played a significant role in the English Civil War, initially supporting the Royalist cause. After the execution of his father in 1649, he fled to continental Europe and later became a prominent figure in the Restoration period, serving as the Lord High Admiral. James is also known for his conversion to Catholicism, which fueled tensions leading to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, resulting in his exile.
