1688 – ‘Glorious revolution’ – all monarchs should be protestant

Charles 2nd was a Catholic and was beheaded for it.

Charles 2nd had many children and the Duke of Monmouth

Charles 2nd had no legitimate sons

James 2nd therefore takes the throne and publicly announced his Catholicism 

-       This displeased the Whigs

-       They said it threatened Britain after the gunpowder plot

-       Tory view - If the Monarch is legitimate, treason is the only reason to remove them from power – they wouldn’t overthrow his

-       The Whigs wouldn’t overthrow him but if he had a son, there would be a Catholic rule

-       Exclusion Crisis – James 2nd eldest son not to take the throne.

-       (youngest child) Mary decided to grow up a Protestant and married to William of Orange – James 2nd renounced his
