Bishop William Lloyd: A Welsh Plotter in the Glorious Revolution of 1688
Yr Esgob William Lloyd: Cynllwyniwr Cymreig yn Chwyldro Gogoneddus 1688
This paper argues that William Lloyd, Bishop of St Asaph was not merely an opponent of James II but was an active conspirator and plotter in the Revolution of 1688. He coordinated actions against James and provoked him to more extreme measures. By the time James II fled the country, Lloyd was a major figure who argued for the succession of William and Mary and promoted their cause in the Convention Parliament of 1689.
Professor William Gibson is director of the Oxford Centre for Methodism and Church History and is author of, among other books, James II and the Trial of the Seven Bishops (2009).
