    Name of Dept/Subject- History B.A.- Part 1 History (Hons) Paper no 2, History of Great Britain from 1485-1884 Name of Faculty-Dr. Anjana, R.N. College, Hajipur GLORIOUS REVOLUTION OF 1688 The Glorious Revolution refers to the events of 1688–89 that saw King James II of England deposed and succeeded by one of his daughters and her husband. James’s overt Roman Catholicism, his suspension of the legal rights of Dissenters, and the birth of a Catholic heir to the throne raised discontent among many, particularly non-Catholics. Opposition leaders invited William of Orange, a Protestant who was married to James’s daughter Mary (also Protestant), to, in effect, invade England. James’s support dwindled, and he fled to France. William and Mary were then crowned joint rulers. In 1688 King James II of England, a Roman Catholic king who was already at odds with non- Catholics in England, took actions that further alienated that group. The birth of his son in June raised the likelihood of a Catholic heir to the throne and helped bring discontent to a head. Several leading Englishmen invited William of Orange, a Protestant who was married to James’s eldest daughter, Mary (also Protestant), to lead an army to England. He arrived in November, and James fled the next month. In April 1689 William and Mary were crowned joint rulers of the kingdom of England. This revolution in England stemmed from religious and political conflicts. King James II was Catholic. His religion, and his actions rooted in it, put him at odds with the non-Catholic population and others.

  • The Eighteenth Century
    Aula 5 THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY META Compreender o século XVII como um momento de transição na literatura inglesa, caracterizado, em sua primeira metade, pelo Neoclassicismo, e na segunda pelas primeiras manifestações do Romantismo. OBJETIVOS Ao final desta aula, o aluno deverá: Identificar e analisar as características da poesia inglesa do século XVIII, sobretudo em sua primeira metade. Familiarizar o estudante com a poesia neoclássica de Alexander Pope. PRÉ-REQUISITOS História da literatura inglesa até o século XVII. Luiz Eduardo Oliveira Literatura de Língua Inglesa II INTRODUÇÃO During the 18th century, the Enlightenment culminated in the French and American revolutions. Philosophy and science increased in promi- nence. Philosophers dreamed of a brighter age. This dream turned into a reality with the French Revolution, although it was later compromised by the excesses of the Reign of Terror of Maximilien Robespierre. At first, the monarchies of Europe embraced Enlightenment ideals, but with the French Revolution they feared losing their power and formed broad co- alitions for the counter-revolution. The Ottoman Empire experienced an unprecedented period of peace and economic expansion, taking part in no European wars from 1740 to 1768. As a consequence the empire did not share in Europe's military improvements during the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), causing its military to fall behind and suffer defeats against Russia in the second half of the century. Fonte: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18th_century DESENVOLVIMENTO As Charles II had no legitimate children, his brother James (1633-1701), who was the first in the line of succession, ascended the throne and became James II and VII from 1685 until the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

  • Edinburgh Castle Jacobite Trail
    Edinburgh Castle Jacobite Trail In 1688, King James II of England and VII of Scotland was forced off the British throne. His supporters– known as Jacobites – tried to regain the crown for James and his descendents. We call their attempts the Jacobite Risings. Explore the castle to answer these questions about the part it played in this stormy period of history. 3 2 1 5 4 8 7 6 These cannons are on the Argyle Battery. It’s named after the 1 man who led the government forces against the Jacobites in 1715. When was the Argyle Battery built? Government soldiers had a nickname, based on the colour of 2 their coats. We’ve named this café after it! What colour coats did they wear? This grand house was built in 1742 for three of the castle’s most 3 important residents – the governor, the master gunner and the storekeeper. How many steps lead up to its front entrance? Dury’s Battery was built after the 1708 Jacobite Rising to defend 4 the south side of the castle. What was the first name of the man who built it? Hundreds of Jacobite prisoners were held in the Prisons of War. 5 Which prisoner escaped from the castle disguised as a maid? In 1689 Jacobites holding Edinburgh Castle were beseiged. The 6 castle’s commander and his men took shelter in the cellars of David’s Tower. How many soldiers slept in these cellars? Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobite army captured the city of 7 Edinburgh in 1745. But what he really wanted was the castle, and the Honours of Scotland – the symbols of Scottish kingship.

A favourable reception, quite beyond expectation, has induced me to publish an edition of this work at a popular price.

That I am not so far from the truth in my estimate as some critics suppose, is, I think, manifest from the strong objection taken to my conclusions by the White Rose organs on one hand, and the Daily News and several journals in sj'mpathy with it on the other; while the fact that a majority of my critics have expressed themselves in favour of a juste milieu being observed in estimating the merits and demerits of the unfortunate Stuart race, leads one to believe that some protest against the ipse dixit school of historians was needed.

  • John Wesley and Political Reality
    John Wesley and Political Reality by Leon O. Hynson On January 9, 1782, at the age of seventy-eight, near the end of the An1erican revolutionary struggle, John Wesley wrote a short essay, entitled "Hovv Far Is It The Duty of a Christian Minister To Preach Politics?" His response to this reflects the kind of political conservatism by which Wesley is usually described. In essence, Wesley argued that it was entirely within the minister's range of duty to resist spurious and unjust criticisms of the King and his ministers even though critics might cry out, "0, he is preaching politics.'" 1 It is a frequent assumption that such an emphasis represents the boundaries of Wesley's political conscious­ ness and discussion of political realities. Central to this recurrent assumption is the designation of Wesley as a thorough-going Tory, conservative to the core, dedicated to the political status-quo. Unfortunately while this categorization of Wesley has been often expressed, the meaning of Wesley's "Tory" politics has been little understood and inadequate concepts have received continued expression. It is necessary indeed to ques­ tion the adequacy of the rubric "Tory" as an umbrella to. cover Wesley's political theories and practices. In the works of three respected Methodist church historians assessments of Wesley's politics are expressed and the conclusions reached are in concord with the usual or traditional views indicated above. Frederick Norwood, Richal"d M. Calneron, and the late Vvilliam Warren Sweet have given voice to this viewpoint.2 Sweet's essay is a specific effort to spell out Wesley's Tory politics, while the others merely repeat the argument.

  • MEDALLIC HISTORY of RELIGIOUS and RACIAL INTOLERANCE: MEDALS AS INSTRUMENTS for PROMOTING BIGOTRY by Benjamin Weiss
    MEDALLIC HISTORY OF RELIGIOUS AND RACIAL INTOLERANCE: MEDALS AS INSTRUMENTS FOR PROMOTING BIGOTRY by Benjamin Weiss ABSTRACT Prejudices of all types represent a profound failure and blight on our society. These prejudices manifest themselves in individuals and nations having policies which, overtly or covertly, subtly or blatantly, discriminate on the basis of religion, race, nationality, gender, age or sexual orientation--- religious and racial prejudices being among the most commonly encountered. Even a cursory examination of the history of religious bigotry amply demonstrates the frequent, prevalent and globally widespread nature of these practices. The consequences on individuals range from the relatively inconsequential, such as slurs and insults, to the devastating, including confiscation of property, expulsion from countries and mass slaughter. Religious and racial intolerance has also been responsible for a multitude of regional conflicts and global wars in the past as well as in the present, as evidenced by a mere perusal of current events. This article traces the repercussions of religious and racial intolerance through the eyes of historical and commemorative medals. As such, it attempts to be a Medallic History of Religious and Racial Intolerance. The discourse reviews briefly the history of this enormous field, concentrating on those countries and events where medals exist that exemplify the consequences of religious and racial prejudice. The coverage of the subject must, of necessity, be superficial, as the topic is so wide. Nevertheless, a group of medals has been selected that serve to illustrate, through imagery and wonderful art, that medals not only have provided a window through which to view historical events surrounding bigotry but also have been issued to actually promote religious and racial hatred.

  • The Second Jacobite Rebellion of 1745: Triumph and Tragedy For
    The Second Jacobite Rebellion of 1745: Triumph and Tragedy for Scotland Olivia Oestman Junior Division Word Count: 1,687 The Second Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 was a turning point in Scottish history. The early triumphs of the Rebellion to secure the independence of Scotland from British rule gave the Jacobites great hope that they would finally recover the power they had lost in 1688. The tragedy of the Rebellion’s ultimate failure permanently changed the Scottish lands, government, and culture, creating great hardships not only for the Jacobites, but for all of Scotland for centuries to come. For many years before 1603, England and Scotland were ruled as separate kingdoms. When Elizabeth I died in 1603 after 44 years as Queen of England, the long reign of the Tudor dynasty ended. Elizabeth never married and did not leave any children to inherit the throne. Her successor was therefore her nearest relative – King James VI of Scotland, who then also became known as James I of England. This united the thrones of England and Scotland under a single monarch. These monarchs were known as the Stuarts. In 1688, the last male Stuart ruler of Britain – James II of England, Wales, and Ireland and VII of Scotland – was driven from power by his son-in-law and nephew, William III of Orange. William came from another branch of the royal family known as the Hanovers. The Act of Settlement formally transferred English rule from the Stuarts to the Hanovers in 1701. Scotland was ruled as part of England by the Hanover kings following the Act of Settlement.
