Who were the \u2018Immortal Seven\u2019? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
\"\"
A ROYAL RSVP <\/strong>William of Orange was invited by seven men to take the throne, leading to the Glorious Revolution of 1688 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n
\u2022 <\/span>SHORT ANSWER<\/span><\/h5>\n\n

This group of noblemen didn\u2019t want to live forever; they wanted a new king <\/p>\n\n

\u2022 <\/span>LONG ANSWER<\/span> <\/h5>\n\n

It took less than three years as king for the Roman Catholic James VII and II to make enough enemies in Protestant England and Scotland that a group of nobles looked to get rid of him. They weren\u2019t willing to lead a mass uprising or carry out an assassination, though. This \u2018Immortal Seven\u2019 sent an invitation, on 30 June 1688, to Holland\u2019s stadtholder William of Orange, husband to James\u2019 daughter Mary, to come and take the throne. \u201cThere are nineteen parts of twenty of the people throughout the Kingdom, who are desirous of a change,\u201d it implored.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

And William answered. The so-called Glorious Revolution was more or less bloodless in England as James fled into exile. The seven men who signed the invitation (in code) \u2013 earls Charles Talbot, William Cavendish and Thomas Osborne; Richard, Baron Lumley; naval officer Edward Russell; army officer Henry Sidney; and bishop of London Henry Compton \u2013 were all rewarded with better titles after William became king. <\/p>\n\n
