Why did James ll lose power and how did William and Mary come to power in 1688?
James the Second was a Catholic and England was mostly Protestant. Most of the English were unhappy with their Catholic ruler. So, the Protestants asked William of Orange to invade England to overthrow James. William agreed. So on July 12, 1690, William met James across the Boyne River. (The battle was called the Battle of the Boyne.) There William beat James and assumed control of England. James and his defeated army retreated to Catholic Ireland (and Scotland). (The question should say 1690.)
