| 1688-Bloodless Revolution- James II was in power and the Whigs asked William of Orange to come to England. When William came to England with his AMRY, James’s ARMY deserted him and James II fled to France. There was no blood spilt, hence the name of Bloodless Revolution. William and Mary took the throne. The historical importance is that the power of the king and queen was spread around and most of the power was handed over to Parliament. (01/18/08 and I looked some of it up on the internet) |
