'''The Glorious Revolution''' or '''Bloodless Revolt''', also known as the '''Revolution of 1688''', was a coup d'etat that took place in [[England]], replacing the [[Catholic]] [[King]] of England and [[Ireland]], [[James II]] (known as James VII as King of [[Scotland]]), with the Protestant [[William and Mary|William of Orange and his wife Mary]], who was James's daughter. Despite the often used title of "Bloodless", there was some fighting and loss of life, though none of it took place in England itself.

The cause of the overthrow was a combination of two battles taking place in England at the time; one was a battle between [[Protestantism]] and Catholicism, the other between the fledgling democracy of [[Parliament]] and the "Divine Right" of the King. James was unpopular with many politicians due to his Catholicism. However attempts to exclude him from becoming King had been unsuccessful.  William III and Mary II went on to become a popular and peaceful rulers.
