The Glorious Revolution
In a pivotal juncture, Anne’s elder sister, Mary, and her brother-in-law, William of Orange, orchestrated a swift return to England just five months after the birth of King James’s son. This marked the onset of the “Glorious Revolution,” a momentous event in English history. Fueled by widespread discontent with the Catholic king, the invasion was welcomed by the English populace, leading to the dethronement of James.
Mary and William assumed the roles of the new monarchs, significantly altering the course of Anne’s life. With King James ousted, Anne found herself back in the line of succession, heralding a new chapter filled with potential.
