Flip that Throne The Restoration And Glorious Revolution
Oliver Cromwell ruled until his death • His son, Richard took over England but was ineffective and lost the army’s support • If you don’t have the armies support, you got nothing…run Richard Run!!!!
Parliament called on Charles II to return to England (he had been exiled by Cromwell) and restore the monarchy (This time is called the Restoration) • Charles II ruled until his death in 1685 and his Catholic brother, James II, took over England • England had a great distrust of Catholics (a lot of shady business between Catholic and Protestant rulers) • Parliament told James to step down and give his daughter Mary II and her husband William III the throne • William III was a famous Dutch soldier
Glorious Revolution • William arrives in England with his Dutch army and James II runs away. • The bloodless transfer of power between James II and his daughter Mary II is called Glorious Revolution
