William III Arrives: The Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the Arrival of a New Monarch in Britain This evocative image captures the historic moment when Prince William III of Orange, later to be known as King William III of England and II of Scotland, disembarked from his ship at the English port of Brixham on the morning of 11 November 1688. The date was significant, as it marked the beginning of the Glorious Revolution, an event that would ultimately result in the deposition of King James II and the establishment of a new monarchy. The print, titled "William III Arrives," is a poignant reminder of the tumultuous political climate of late 17th-century Britain. The image shows William III, dressed in military attire and mounted on horseback, being greeted by a crowd of supporters as he sets foot on English soil. The scene is one of jubilation and relief, as the people of England welcomed the arrival of their new monarch, who promised to restore religious freedom and political stability to the realm. The background of the print is filled with ships and boats, which had brought William III and his army across the English Channel from the Netherlands. The fleet, known as the "Invincible Army," had sailed from the Dutch port of Texel in October 1688, in response to an invitation from a group of English nobles and politicians who sought to remove James II from the throne. The Glorious Revolution was a pivotal moment in British history, and the arrival of William III marked the beginning of a new era. The events of 1688 set the stage for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, in which the power of the monarch was limited by Parliament. This system of government would endure for centuries, shaping the political landscape of Britain and its colonies.
