The last <a href="/wiki/Catholic" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholic">Catholic</a> monarch of <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_England" title="Kingdom of England">England</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Scotland" title="Kingdom of Scotland">Scotland</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Ireland" title="Kingdom of Ireland">Ireland</a>, his reign is now remembered primarily for conflicts over religion. However, it also involved struggles over the principles of <a href="/wiki/Absolute_monarchy" title="Absolute monarchy">absolutism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Divine_right_of_kings" title="Divine right of kings">divine right of kings</a>, with his deposition ending a century of political and civil strife by confirming the primacy of the <a href="/wiki/English_Parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="English Parliament">English Parliament</a> over the Crown.<a href="#cite_note-6">[4]</a> James succeeded to the throne with widespread support, largely due to a reluctance to undermine the principle of hereditary succession, and the belief that a Catholic monarchy was purely temporary. However, tolerance of his personal views did not extend to Catholicism in general, and both the English and <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Scotland" title="Parliament of Scotland">Scottish parliaments</a> refused to pass measures viewed as undermining the primacy of the <a href="/wiki/Protestant" class="mw-redirect" title="Protestant">Protestant</a> religion. His attempts to impose them by decree met with opposition, and as a result, it has been argued it was a political principle, rather than a religious one, that ultimately led to his removal.<a href="#cite_note-7">[5]</a> In June 1688, two events turned dissent into a crisis. Firstly, the birth of James's son and heir <a href="/wiki/James_Francis_Edward_Stuart" title="James Francis Edward Stuart">James Francis Edward Stuart</a> on 10 June raised the prospect of a Catholic dynasty, excluding his Protestant daughter <a href="/wiki/Mary_II_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="Mary II of England">Mary</a> and her husband <a href="/wiki/William_III,_Prince_of_Orange" class="mw-redirect" title="William III, Prince of Orange">William III, Prince of Orange</a>, who was also his nephew. Secondly, the prosecution of the <a href="/wiki/Seven_Bishops" title="Seven Bishops">Seven Bishops</a> was seen as an assault on the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a>, and their acquittal on 30 June destroyed his political authority. Ensuing anti-Catholic riots in England and Scotland led to a general feeling that only James's removal could prevent another civil war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHarris2006264–268-8">[6]</a> Leading members of the English political class <a href="/wiki/Invitation_to_William" title="Invitation to William">invited William</a> to assume the English throne. When William landed in <a href="/wiki/Brixham" title="Brixham">Brixham</a> on 5 November 1688, James's army deserted and he went into exile in France on 23 December. In February 1689, a special <a href="/wiki/Convention_Parliament_(1689)" title="Convention Parliament (1689)">Convention Parliament</a> held James had "vacated" the English throne and installed William and Mary as joint monarchs, thereby establishing the principle <a href="/wiki/Sovereignty" title="Sovereignty">sovereignty</a> derived from Parliament, not birth. James landed in Ireland on 14 March 1689 in an attempt to recover his kingdoms, but, despite a simultaneous <a href="/wiki/Jacobite_rising_of_1689" title="Jacobite rising of 1689">rising in Scotland</a>, in April a <a href="/wiki/Convention_of_Estates_(1689)" title="Convention of Estates (1689)">Scottish Convention</a> followed England in ruling that James had "forfeited" the throne, which was offered to William and Mary.

Was he an egotistical bigot ... a tyrant who rode roughshod over the will of the vast majority of his subjects (at least in England and Scotland) ... simply naïve, or even perhaps plain stupid, unable to appreciate the realities of political power ...

Pincus claims that James's reign must be understood within a context of economic change and European politics, and makes two major assertions about James II. The first of these is that James purposefully "followed the French Sun King, Louis XIV, in trying to create a modern Catholic polity. This involved not only trying to Catholicize England ... but also creating a modern, centralizing, and extremely bureaucratic state apparatus."<a href="#cite_note-176">[169]</a> The second is that James was undone in 1688 far less by Protestant reaction against Catholicization than by nationwide hostile reaction against his intrusive bureaucratic state and taxation apparatus, expressed in massive popular support for William of Orange's armed invasion of England. Pincus presents James as neither naïve nor stupid nor egotistical. Instead, readers are shown an intelligent, clear-thinking strategically motivated monarch whose vision for a French authoritarian political model and alliance clashed with, and lost out to, alternative views that favoured an entrepreneurial Dutch economic model, feared French power, and were outraged by James's authoritarianism. <a href="/wiki/Scott_Sowerby" title="Scott Sowerby">Scott Sowerby</a> countered Pincus's thesis in 2013 in Making Toleration: The Repealers and the Glorious Revolution. He noted that English taxes remained low during James II's reign, at about 4% of the English national income, and thus it was unlikely that James could have built a bureaucratic state on the model of Louis XIV's France, where taxes were at least twice as high as a proportion of GDP.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESowerby201351–53-177">[170]</a> Sowerby also contends that James's policies of religious toleration attracted substantial support from religious nonconformists, including Quakers, Baptists, Congregationalists and Presbyterians, who were attracted by the king's push for a new "Magna Carta for liberty of conscience".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESowerby201343–44-178">[171]</a> The king was overthrown, in Sowerby's view, largely because of fears among the Dutch and English elites that James might be aligning himself with Louis XIV in a supposed "holy league" to destroy Protestantism across northern Europe.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESowerby2013227–239-179">[172]</a> Sowerby presents James's reign as a struggle between those who believed that the king was sincerely devoted to liberty of conscience and those who were sceptical of the king's espousals of toleration and believed that he had a hidden agenda to overthrow English Protestantism. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Titles,_styles,_honours,_and_arms">Titles, styles, honours, and arms</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=James_II_of_England&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Titles, styles, honours, and arms">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:James2coin.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/James2coin.jpg/170px-James2coin.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="173" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/James2coin.jpg/255px-James2coin.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/James2coin.jpg 2x" data-file-width="288" data-file-height="293" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Half_crown_(British_coin)" title="Half crown (British coin)">Half crown coin</a> of James II, 1686</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Titles_and_styles">Titles and styles</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=James_II_of_England&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Titles and styles">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li>14 October 1633 – 6 February 1685: The Duke of York</li> <li>10 May 1659 – 6 February 1685: The Earl of Ulster<a href="#cite_note-weir-13">[11]</a></li> <li>31 December 1660 – 6 February 1685: The Duke of Albany</li> <li>6 February 1685 – 23 December 1688 (by <a href="/wiki/Jacobitism" title="Jacobitism">Jacobites</a> until 16 September 1701): His Majesty The King</li></ul> The official style of James in England was "James the Second, by the Grace of God, King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, <a href="/wiki/Defender_of_the_Faith" title="Defender of the Faith">Defender of the Faith</a>, etc." The <a href="/wiki/English_claims_to_the_French_throne" title="English claims to the French throne">claim to France</a> was only nominal, and was asserted by every English king from <a href="/wiki/Edward_III" class="mw-redirect" title="Edward III">Edward III</a> to <a href="/wiki/George_III" title="George III">George III</a>, regardless of the amount of French territory actually controlled.
