The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was not a challenge against the English monarchy but a challenge against a catholic monarch. The English people were protestant and did not want to suffer through anymore religious wars.

Therefore the English people invited Mary and her husband William of Orange to overthrow James II and take the English throne.
