1684 CE to 1827 CE

The Exclusion crisis had occurred in 1680 due to widespread objections to a Catholic serving as the King of England, since James is the heir presumptive to Charles, who is the king at this time.

After the death of Charles II in 1685, his Catholic brother King James II & VII is crowned.

From this point, there are various factions pressing for his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband, Prince William III of Orange, to replace him in what becomes known as the Glorious Revolution.

In November 1688, William lands in England with an invading force, and succeeds in being crowned king.

After this, James attempts to retake the throne by force in the Williamite War, and is finally defeated by William at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
