That'll be James II, the one that pissed off Parliament with his pro-Catholic policies and apparent wish to move to a more autocratic monarchy after the settlement between Church-Monarchy-Parliament in the Restoration? The one that pissed off the Establishment that they sent word to William of Orange that if he invaded, England would be quite happy to not resist and crown him King. That's William who was so popular that he was succeeded by his wife and then his sister?
I am very clear, in the English Reformation, Counter Reformation, Civil War, Interregnum, Revolution, Restoration and the Glorious Revolution of 1688 there was a lot of very nasty and cruel persecution of Catholics, Protestants of all colours and types, the nationalisation of the monarchies by theft, and at the end of it a settlement which controlled the monarchy very tightly and was profoundly discriminatory to Catholics.
But overall, it was a GOOD THING, IMHO..
Want some persecution and intolerance in other directions and far worse? Look to mainland Europe.. now they all did it so much nastier..
Hence.. religious tolerance is so key to modern Europe.
