So many of us have been accused on here of wanting a Glorious Revolution. Let's get out with it!

131. After the triumph of "Good King Billy"

The Protestant champion(who, weirdly enough, was backed by the Vatican AGAINST the pro-Catholic James), the Penal Laws were put in place in Ireland, barring Catholics(most Irish people and the Catholic minority in England and Wales)from serving in the Irish Parliament, voting, owning property(including owning a horse worth more than a certain amount of funds), and, essentially from living at any level above that of tenant farmers.

It also helped lead to the forced passage(through the bribery of the Scottish Parliament)of the Act of Union that reduced Scotland to, essentially, a British colony in which all manifestations of traditional Scottish culture(after the failure of the Jacobite Risings of 1715 and 1745)were banned.

The exploitation of English peasants and workers continued in this period with no respite at all.

On the other hand, if you were a wealthy Anglo-German aristocrat, it was a great era for wigs and beauty marks.
