Nothing like a nice new glorious Queen to rule over us.

Thank goodness. Neither of those boys were very happy being alive. That will get us to the reign of the glorious Queen Anne. Here’s James’ tomb in France.

Yes, we’re all a bit broke so sadly have to put up with peace. But will it last? Not likely given that the Spanish empire is up for grabs.

Yes, it’s too soon I know, but that’s smallpox for you. Still, William has a war to win in Ireland so there is that. We know he loves playing soldiers.

William and Mary have made it to the top job but that will not bring happiness. If fact it will make them both pretty miserable. The Scotties will have a bit of a rebellion but the action is in Ireland which William needs to take.

We’re off to glory with regime change in England. William of Orange will line up against his Uncle and Father in Law the magnificent King James 2 of England and 7 of Scotland.

You know it can. King James can’t cop a break. It would be oh so easy if he would just convert but that would make god cross. What’s a William to do?

We’re over James so William of Orange will come sailing in. Plus Princess Anne will get married. Nice Danish lad. Here’s a picture of William and Mary. William must have been standing on something to make it look like he’s as tall as she is.

However did this stuff work? Wonder no more.

James thinks religious toleration would be a great idea. The English think that religious toleration means a Catholic take over and the murdering of English Protestants. They don’t want it. No. At least Titus Oates will get what’s coming for him.
