King James II of England was often referred to as "James the Unlucky" due to his reign being marked by political turmoil and his eventual deposition during the Glorious Revolution of 1688. His Catholic faith and attempts to promote religious tolerance led to significant opposition from Protestant factions, contributing to his downfall. This nickname reflects the challenges and misfortunes he faced as a monarch.
