I am only aware of one actual abdication: Edward VIII.

In 1688 James II fled to France, dropping the Great Seal of the Realm into the Thames, and the question was discussed in Parliament whether he had forfeited the throne or had abdicated. The latter designation was agreed upon, although this was more of a constitutional convenience.
