This is one of the most unhinged threads I’ve ever seen. The premise is clearly ASB.
What parliament? It was only assembled after James’ army collapsed because he had a mental breakdown and his officers lost confidence in him. Also James would not send Anne to a Catholic nunnery, that’s insane.
Also James was a patriotic Englishman who made clear he would be King of England or nothing, he made the minimum concessions to the Patriot Parliament he had to make to levy war, and even in his testimonial of 1701 on his deathbed to his son (a rather unhinged document where he mostly insists traitors must be punished and not conciliated etc) the Irish are not to be given any serious role in government
