Inglorious Revolution

On 30 June, William received his invitation. The invasion was a masterpiece of spin. The Habsburgs and the Pope were assured it was an anti-French move, not an anti-Catholic crusade. The English, meanwhile, were assured the exact opposite.

This our expedition is intended for no other design, but to have a free and lawful Parliament assembled, as soon as possible… We have nothing before our eyes, in this our undertaking, but the preservation of the Protestant religion… under a just and legal government.

William of Orange’s Proclamation, October 1688.
