What did the term 'Glorious Revolution' describe?
The Glorious Revolution was the English people's revolt against the unreasonable demands of an unreasonable king.
James II came to the throne of England, Ireland, and Scotland (his title as King of Scotland was James VII) with expectations that were entirely unreasonable. He had been born and raised in France, where the religion was Catholicism, and the king held absolute power over the entire country. However, in England, all manner of religions were tolerated, and the king was expected to make decisions with and submit to Parliament. When James II entered the scene, he decided to go on a social reform. He started to throw his weight as king around. He declared the official religion to be Catholicism, and acted as though Parliament were nothing. This angered the people and Parliament. Soon, although the country was split into two political parties, the Whigs and the Tories, both were united against James II. The only support he had was from his close friends. The Glorious Revolution refers to the bloodless eviction of this king from his office by his own son-in-law. The actions of James II turned the office of king into a political figurehead in England, his every action directed by Parliament.
The reason that James II failed and the Glorious Revolution took place was that James II was out of touch with reality, swamped in French ideas, and thrown into a very different English Government.

How do you cope with your husband when his mother dies and you have small children to look after?
This is a hard question to answer considering I don't know you.
If your husband was very close to his mother and extremely emotional over her death then he is allowed to have his grieving period (there is no limit to grieving) and it's a natural process and a healthy one.
Perhaps you could ask friends, or your own parents if they could take the kids for a weekend and try to get away with your husband. It doesn't have to be an expensive trip, but just somewhere where you could perhaps walk hand-in-hand on the beach, talk about how he feels about his mother's death, try to give some comfort and wise advice and simply let him know you understand the best you can as to how he feels.
Try the mini holiday. If you can't afford this or don't have the time then try a whole day off on the weekend and a nice dinner in the evening and walk somewhere. Get in touch with each other and simply let him know you are thinking about his feelings. It will help the grieving time run a little more smoothly for him.
Good luck Marcy
Just try to be as much of a comfort to him as you can be. Be his best friend AND his wife.

Who killed the princes in the tower?
- James Tyrell did say he did it on the orders of Richard III but could not identify the location of the bodies, remember it was under torture as well so we cannot take this testimony accurately.*
- Also, Henry VII was suspected.*
- There was loads of evidence linking Richard to the murder such as the first clue was the facts that in the summer of 1483 Richard be headed quiet a few fellow men. Because the tried to stop him becoming king they were not even given the decency of their own trail to plead their innocent. This shows that Richard was purely loathsome when it came to court. Many people said if he could kill one person to get to the throne then why would killing the princes be any different. When it came to it it was all to get to the throne.
- Another clue was in 1483 many men loyal to Richard turned against him and joined Henry Tudor. This could have shown they knew Richard had murdered the boys and they didn't want to have anything to do with him when he was proven guilty. On the other hand they could have been sent to pretend they thought Richard was guilty.
- Also the boys were in the way of Richard getting the throne and the princes were in Richards custody when they went missing most people think it was Richard who killed the princes in the tower.
- HenryIII was also at risk of being suspected because if the princes didn't die than he would never have become king! Clever but if he just thought about it than this is probably what he would have come up with.
