	James II of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James II of England and VII of Scotland (14 October 1633–16 September 1701) became King of England, King of Scots, and King of Ireland from 6 February 1685.
		James II was the last monarch of Scotland to use the title King of Scots, which had been in use since the first monarch of a united Scotland, Kenneth I of Scotland in 843; his successors, Mary II, William III and Anne I used the style "of Scotland" rather than "of Scots".
		Charles II was recognised by the Parliaments of Scotland and Ireland, and was crowned at Scone, in Scotland, in 1651.

		James VII alienated politicians of all parties with his belief in the divine right of kings to rule without the aid of Parliament.
		James terrified many religious people and others with his plans for universal toleration of all Christian denominations, because when James met resistance he attempted to impose his will by force, and ordered bishops who did not accept h is plans to be put on trial; a court case which the King lost.
		But in 1688 James and his second wife Mary of Modena had a son, and his subjects now faced living under a line of absolutists, and the invasion was planned which led to the "Glorious Revolution" in 1688, and the eventual formation of the constitutional monarchy, and rule by king and parliament.

		James VII, as a Roman Catholic, was therefore in a contradictory position.
		In Scotland it took until April 1689 for a Convention of the Estates to decide that James had forfeited the Scottish crown and recognize William as William II of Scotland.
		With the Union of the Parliaments the English had ensured that the House of Hanover would succeed in Scotland too and the Jacobite rebellion in 1715 was an attempt, originated by the Earl of Mar, to capitalize on discontent at the Union in general and the accession of George I (Sophia's son) in particular.

		If James could have kept his religion out of sight, there was enough of loyalty in the nation to have carried him to the end of a prosperous reign; he might have even completed his brother’s designs for rendering the English crown absolute.
		In the height of his power, James had deprived the boroughs of both kingdoms of their charters, and granted new ones, in which he was left the power of nominating the magistracies.
		James had surrounded himself with a standing army; but, as generally happens in such crises, it partook of the almost universal feeling of the people, and was not to be depended on.
