William III (of Orange) 1650-1702
William was 'stadtholder' of the Netherlands and in 1688-1689 became king of England in the 'Glorious Revolution', ruling jointly with his wife, Mary.
He deposed James II. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/william_iii.shtml
The Protestant William of Orange's seizure of the throne from the Catholic James II was blatant usurpation, but it settled once and for all the conflict between crown and parliament

English Civil War Pontefract Castle, West Yorkshire
Once the most powerful castle in the kingdom, the place where Shakespeare’s doomed Richard II laments his condition, and the very last stronghold to fall to Oliver Cromwell’s parliamentarian forces.
Even after Charles I had been beheaded in January 1649, the royalists hung on here, declaring the king’s son to be the rightful heir as Charles II.
When the castle finally fell, Cromwell persuaded the villagers to help “slight” (destroy) the troublesome redoubt.
This they never fully achieved, and when Victoria reigned, centuries later, it became used for growing and storing liquorice. http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2015/feb/14/800-years-english-history-20-day-trips

The Gunpowder Plot
Guy Fawkes
