The expression "Glorious Revolution" was first used by John Hampden in late 1689,[2] and is an expression that is still used by the British Parliament.[3] The Glorious Revolution is also occasionally termed the Bloodless Revolution, albeit inaccurately. In England there were two significant clashes between the two armies, and anti-Catholic riots in several towns.[nb 2] There was also the Williamite War in Ireland and serious fighting in Scotland (notably the Battles of Killicrankie and the Dunkeld).[nb 3] The revolution also led to the collapse of the Dominion of New England and the overthrow of Maryland's government.
