A Dutch ruler, William of Orange, became King of England in 1689 after the Glorious Revolution, which saw him invited by English nobles to overthrow King James II due to his Catholicism and perceived tyranny. William and his wife Mary II, James's Protestant daughter, jointly ascended the throne, marking a shift towards constitutional monarchy. Later, in the early 18th century, the German prince George I, Elector of Hanover, became king in 1714 due to the Act of Settlement 1701, which ensured that only Protestants could inherit the English throne, thus favoring his lineage over closer Catholic relatives.
