THE GLORIOUS REVOLUTION by Edward Vallance In 1688, a group of leading politicians invited the Dutch Prince, William of Orange to challenge the rule of the catholic James II of England. When James's army deserted him he fled to France, leaving the throne to William. Many believe that the following year marked the triumph of constitutional monarchy as a system of government. This new interpretation of the Glorious Revolution challenges the view that it was a bloodless coup and questions whether it created as many problems as it addressed. Certainly in Scotland and Ireland the Revolution was characterised by warfare and massacre.2005, Little Brown & Co, , 0316726818,< A-01>,384pp, New in d/w, , Subject...Early Warfare - GeneralWeb No. 33021-02..............................£20.00 |
