Year
Year Summary. A few lines starting like '1954 was the year...'
The joint Monarchs are William III and Mary II (from 13 February). Following the <em>Glorious Revolution</em>, Parliament decided that James II had vacated the throne. This leads to a few Jacobite rising from his supporters. The <em>Bill of Rights 1689</em> comes into force (based on the work of John Locke) which includes basic civil rights and clarifies who would next inherit the Crown. Plenty of unrest in England, Europe and North America. Boston Revolt. Peter the Great rules Russia.
Year Detail. We usually leave this blank.
