Where did William of orange come from?
William of Orange, who was King of England from 1658 to 1702, was Durch. He was born in what was then the Dutch Republic, now The Netherlands.
Who were the rulers at the start of constitutional monarchy?
If you are referring to England, the constitutional monarchy started with the reign of William III and Mary II (William & Mary). After Mary's father, James II, was run out of the country in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, she and her husband, William of Orange, were offered the crown as co-rulers if they agreed to having their powers limited via an English Constitution.
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.)
