Imagine king James II has managed to beat Wilhelm in battle of river Boyne. Thus, he encourages his supporters in Ireland and Scottish Highlands.

Then he is crowned as High king of Ireland and High chief of Highlands. He does not make it in Scottish Lowlands and England. Still, there are many Jacobite sympathizes in Wilhelm's army.

So, there is status quo on British Isles. Wilhelm and James are not capable of making any major strikes at each other's position.

Let's discuss.
