Explanation:

The beginning of the Glorious Revolution dates from June 30, 1688, when William of Orange-Nassau, statutory of the Netherlands, received in the Hague, from Admiral Torrington, a letter signed by seven English notables, the so-called Seven Immortals , in which they proposed to appear with an army in England to, with their support, overthrow their father-in-law, King James II, father of his wife Mary, and seize power.

In the background of this proposal was the opposition of the Protestant sectors to Jacobo's will to establish Catholicism as the official religion of the kingdom and his intention to deepen the absolutist character of his reign.

Finally, Guillermo accepted and, after long preparations, the invading fleet left Hellevoetsluis in October, landing in England at the beginning of November. The defections in the realistic side and the majority popular support led to the rapid victory of Guillermo, who was proclaimed king in February 1689, after having agreed to swear and respect the Bill of Rights, which limited the powers of the royal power and made him subject to Parliament's decisions, thus beginning the first constitutional monarchy in history.
