The parliament of England felt threatened that king James II had a catholic son with his catholic wife, and eventually England would be ruled by catholics, so they negotiated with William of Orange, who was a Protestant known all over the continent for his containment of catholic France. He accepted the offer of becoming king of England and came to rule England alongside his Protestant wife (James II's catholic daughter Mary). James II fled to France, which was a bloodless victory for William. This is called the Glorious revolution. Because William was invited by the Parliament, they had some authority over William and the Parliament remained a governing body in England.
After King James II was ousted in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, William of Orange, who became William III of England, played a crucial role in restoring Parliament. Once he accepted the throne alongside his wife, Mary II, he acknowledged the importance of parliamentary governance, leading to the establishment of constitutional monarchy. This event marked a significant shift in power, enhancing Parliament's authority over the monarchy.
