| Description: | The so-called 'Glorious Revolution' included a bloodless invasion by a Dutch fleet who were invited into the country by a group of nobles and parliamentarians who were concerned about James II and his new Catholic wife. William of Orange, was a Dutch politician who happened to be Protestant, and was the closest thing to a saviour for them. He and his wife Mary (a cousin who was the daughter of James' first wife) formed a co-regnal governance which created much needed stability in England. Governance reforms agreed to by William were instrumental in moving the country from a despotic monarchical system to the modern parliamentary system we have today.
