=== Second Interregnum 1688–1689 ===

James II was ousted by Parliament less than four years after ascending to the throne, beginning the century's second interregnum. To settle the question of who should replace the deposed monarch, a [[Convention Parliament (1689)|Convention Parliament]] elected James' daughter [[Mary II]] and her husband (also his nephew) [[William III of England|William III]] [[Coregency|co-regents]], in the [[Glorious Revolution]].

===Houses of Stuart and Orange===

While [[Jacobitism|James and his descendants]] continued to claim the throne, all Catholics (such as James II's son and grandson, [[James Francis Edward Stuart|James Francis Edward]] and   [[Bonnie Prince Charlie|Charles]] respectively) were barred from the throne by the [[Act of Settlement 1701]], enacted by [[Anne, Queen of Great Britain|Anne]], another of James's Protestant daughters.

With the [[Acts of Union 1707]], England as a sovereign state ceased to exist, replaced by the new [[Kingdom of Great Britain]]; see [[List of British monarchs]].
