At noon on an unseasonably mild day in early November 1688, an army of 14,000 men landed at Torbay in Devon. Their leader was a short man with a hooked nose and a hacking cough: William of Orange had come to take the Stuart crown. The Revolution of 1688 has been seen in different ways according to the viewpoint of the historian. It has been called the 'Quiet Revolution', the 'Bloodless Revolution' - even the 'Glorious Revolution'. At the time, many saw it as deliverance from Popery; from the distance of the eighteenth century it was viewed as the dawning of an age of enlightenment and personal freedom.
