They sent a petition to William of Orange, the husband of James’s eldest and Protestant daughter Mary, and invited him to come to England and to ascend the English throne. Dutch troops landed in England on [[5 November]] 1688. James II fled to France, and later he went to Ireland. This is the so-called Glorious Revolution.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

In 1687, James II proclaimed the Declaration of Indulgence, which suspended the Test Acts and some other anti-Catholic laws. Thus, he was accused of suspending laws without the consent of Parliament.

Moreover, the birth of James&#039;s son [[James Francis Edward Stuart|James Francis Edward]] (his male heir and baptised Catholic) in June 1688 contributed to the fear of the Protestant English elite to be run over by a Catholic dynasty.

He was himself a devout Catholic since 1668. The fact that he was a Catholic became a serious problem during his reign because the English people were very suspicious of Catholics after the events of [[Mary I]] and the [[Gunpowder Plot]]. After 1685, James II strongly supported the English Catholics and gave them many important posts. According to Parliament, these pro-Catholic policies were against the [[Test Acts]], a series of laws which were to guarantee the exclusion of Catholics from Court and Parliament. In 1687, James II proclaimed the Declaration of Indulgence, which suspended the Test Acts and some other anti-Catholic laws. Thus, he was accused of suspending laws without the consent of Parliament. But it was his second pro-Catholic Declaration of Indulgence (April 1688), which led to really serious trouble. This declaration was supposed to be read out in the Anglican churches, and the Protestant English elite was strongly opposed to this. Moreover, the birth of James&#039;s son [[James Francis Edward Stuart|James Francis Edward]] (his male heir and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;baptized &lt;/del&gt;Catholic) in June 1688 contributed to the fear of the Protestant English elite to be run over by a Catholic dynasty.

He was himself a devout Catholic since 1668. The fact that he was a Catholic became a serious problem during his reign because the English people were very suspicious of Catholics after the events of [[Mary I]] and the [[Gunpowder Plot]]. After 1685, James II strongly supported the English Catholics and gave them many important posts. According to Parliament, these pro-Catholic policies were against the [[Test Acts]], a series of laws which were to guarantee the exclusion of Catholics from Court and Parliament. In 1687, James II proclaimed the Declaration of Indulgence, which suspended the Test Acts and some other anti-Catholic laws. Thus, he was accused of suspending laws without the consent of Parliament. But it was his second pro-Catholic Declaration of Indulgence (April 1688), which led to really serious trouble. This declaration was supposed to be read out in the Anglican churches, and the Protestant English elite was strongly opposed to this. Moreover, the birth of James&#039;s son [[James Francis Edward Stuart|James Francis Edward]] (his male heir and baptized Catholic) in June 1688 contributed to the fear of the Protestant English elite to be run over by a Catholic dynasty. They sent a petition to [[William of Orange]] (husband of James’s eldest and Protestant daughter Mary), and they invited him to come to England and to ascend the English throne. Dutch troops landed in England on the 5th of November &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;1588&lt;/del&gt;. James II fled to France, and later he went to Ireland.

Moreover, the birth of James&amp;#039;s son [[James Francis Edward Stuart|James Francis Edward]] (his male heir and baptized Catholic) in June 1688 contributed to the fear of the Protestant English elite to be run over by a Catholic dynasty.

In the mainly Catholic Ireland, James made a last attempt to regain the throne. He formed a troop against William of Orange.
