Comments by "SymphonyBrahms" (@SymphonyBrahms) on "James II: A Disaster Waiting To Happen | Game Of Kings | Timeline" video.
James II was deposed . William and Mary were king and queen. And England was free. Later there was a problem with the Old Pretender and Italian Prince Charlie (who was not bonnie by any means) leading revolts against the legal government, but the English and Scottish Protestants, who were in the majority, defeated these insurrections and chased the Stuarts back to their true home in Rome.

That ficticious majority couldn't or wouldn't depose the Protestant kings. Because they only existed in the fantasy of the few Catholics who were left. Actually only about 5% of the population was Catholic. England was finished with the Catholic king and queen dictators. Mary I was dead, Mary Stuart was chopped, Charles I was chopped, and James II, a.k.a. Dismal Jimmy, was deposed. The tyranny of the Catholic rulers was over. And Protestant England and Scotland were free.
