Mary II and William III ascended the throne of England following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which saw the overthrow of King James II. They were invited by a group of Protestant nobles to take the crown, largely due to fears of James's Catholicism and autocratic rule. To solidify their rule, they accepted the Bill of Rights in 1689, which established parliamentary sovereignty and limited the powers of the monarchy. Their joint reign marked a significant shift towards constitutional monarchy in England.
