4. Summary of events
King James II inherited the throne from his brother, Charles II in 1685, after Charles died leaving no legitimate heir.
King James did not hide his Catholicism, like his brother had done. This worried the mostly Protestant Parliament especially once James gave important posts to Catholics.
Shortly after becoming King, his 2nd wife, Mary of Modena gave birth to a son, who was said to follow the religion of his father. This was a blow to James’ daughters from his first marriage to Anne Hyde.
There is a story that the baby was still born, but due to a need for a male heir, another baby, born the same night was swapped in a bed pan with the King’s own son. This has never been proven though!
Parliament disliked James’ Catholic ways and invited his son in law, William of Orange, (husband of James’ daughter Mary), to invade England and to take the thrown by force.
James didn’t want to have the same fate as his father and fled to France in This is known as the Glorious Revolution.

12. The Glorious Revolution continued
In April 1689, James II, having recovered his nerve and being determined to win back his throne, returned to Ireland, which was home to many fellow-Catholics. From here James hoped to raise an army and cross again to England. Although the new English king, William III, was in difficulty fighting the French, a Protestant army was able to deliver a crushing defeat against James and his Catholic supporters at the Battle of the Boyne, in June 1689.

13. The Glorious Revolution continued
Both James II's Catholic son and grandson tried to regain the throne of England and Scotland. In 1715, James's son, called the "Old Pretender", landed in Scotland but did not stay to give battle. In 1745, James's grandson, known as the "Young Pretender" or "Bonnie Prince Charlie", landed in the Hebrides and gathered supporters from all over the Scottish highlands. They entered Edinburgh and began to threaten England.

14. The Glorious Revolution continued
The Duke of Cumberland, son of King George II, led an English army against Bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden, near Inverness, in April This was the last battle to be fought on British soil. It was a crushing defeat for the Jacobites, as the supporters of the Catholic Stuarts were known.
A threat to the Protestant Monarchy from Catholics has not happened since this time.
