William and Mary became the monarchs of England. (1689) The two came to power after the bloodless Glorious Revolution, and enacted a number of policies that favored the rights of the people and Parliament, rather than the monarchy. They also enacted laws on the basis of political and personal rights, a new concept at the time.
William and Mary became the monarchs of England without having to resort to violence.
