(C) Power over the English monarchy

Further explanation

The glorious revolution was a revolt of the English people against King James II. This king was unpopular because of his brutal and undemocratic policy, especially he was a Catholic who scared Protestants, the majority group in England. This group was worried because King James II was giving important positions to Catholics in the army and universities. He also imprisoned English bishops who refused to preach for freedom of worship. It was the birth of James Francis Edward, a possible Catholic successor of James II who pushed the English parliament to react.

They asked William III, Stadtholder of the Netherlands, husband of Mary, one of the king's daughters, to come with an army to fight his father-in-law. He landed in England on November 15, 1688, with an army of more than 21,000 men, consisting of Dutch mercenaries, French Huguenots, English, and Scottish volunteers.

James II was not strong enough to resist this invasion, so he went to take refuge in France. William II and Mary Stuart took power very easily because of the agreement of parliament. After that short revolution, we can see that this institution had much more power than the king at that time.
