Sinclair Dates

["John S. Quarterman" <jsq@mids.org>]

   Sinclair Dates:  December 11. In 1688: Glorious Revolution. Catholic
   King James II of England and VII of Scotland was driven from London by
   an almost-bloodless revolt that brought in Protestant William III and
   Mary II as monarchs. William was William of Orange, Stadtholder of
   Holland.
   In 1688: Sack of Rosslyn Chapel. Shortly after the protestant William
   of Orange had landed in England and displaced the Catholic James II, a
   mob from Edinburgh and some of the villagers from Roslin entered and
   damaged the [1]Chapel. Their object was to destroy the furniture and
   vestments, which were now regarded as Popish and idolatrous.
