who did parliament invite to take over the throne during the glorious revolution because they were protestant?
During the Glorious Revolution, Parliament invited William and Mary to take the throne. This was because they were Protestants. James II was Catholic, and his policies and religious leanings were a source of conflict. Parliament, which was dominated by Protestants, sought to secure a Protestant monarchy. William was James II's nephew and Mary was James II's daughter, both Protestants. Their invitation to rule was part of the events of the Glorious Revolution which aimed to balance power between the monarchy and Parliament and ensure a Protestant - led monarchy.
