Louis’s principal concern is the German powers in the Rhineland, dispelling fears in the Dutch Republic of a possible French attack upon them.
Thus, he does little to stop William’s invasion of England, enabling him on November 15, 1688, to land his forces unhindered at Brixham on Tor Bay.
Faced with the largest force ever to invade England, many Protestant officers defect and join William, including Churchill, James’s best general, and Princess Anne, James's own daughter.
James loses his nerve, sending his family to France and declining to attack the invading army, despite numerical superiority.
