Original sentence: In 1688, William of Orange invaded England with the support of much of the protestant nobility, as James II was a Catholic and it was feared he would attempt to reintroduce absolute monarchical rule into his kingdom, as well as toleration of Roman Catholicism and the possible disestablishment of the Church of England.James promoted Churchill to lieutenant-general in November and ordered him to engage and defeat the invaders; instead he deserted to the Orange cause, which caused much of the army to come with him and put James in a very difficult position.The "Glorious Revolution" had been pulled off with far less bloodshed than anyone expected (although the Battle of the Boyne was a notable exceptio), and the Stuarts no longer ruled in Britain
