James II and the Trial of the Seven Bishops Hardcover - 2009 - 1st Edition

by W. Gibson


From the publisher

The trial of the seven bishops in 1688 was a signifcant prelude to the Glorious Revolution, as popular support for the bishops led to a widespread welcome for William of Orange's invasion. Their prosecution showed James II at his most intolerant, and threatened the only institution for which most English people felt more loyalty than the monarchy.
