England had tried doing away with its monarchy but had accepted Charles II back. He was wise enough to keep his Roman Catholic faith very secret and not to be seen as too openly trying to restore the rights of the crown to rule as well as reign. England had been a Protestant country for many years. James II was an open Roman Catholic and this was not acceptable to the people, but they were prepared to put up with it because he had no son and so the succession would go to his protestant daughter Mary and her Protestant husband William of Orange. When James not only made the mistake of trying too openly to get back some of the rights of the monarchy from before the Civil War, but also had a son who would be raised as a Roman Catholic to succeed him, the English Protestant establishment found this too much to stomach and threw him out. There was probably very little actual enthusiasm for William and Mary, but there was a lot of hatred for James. He should have been warned by what had happened to his father. But he was allowed to escape, no one wanted to go down the road of beheading another king. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the Glorious Revolution, or the Revolution of 1688. P.S.
