This is a remake of a previous upload as the old one had quite a few errors, the errors are corrected here. The song’s title wouldn’t fit within RUclips’s character limit, so the video’s title is a shortened version. The full title is ‘On the most High and Mighty Monarch King James, On his Exaltation on the Throne of England’
King James II asked for certain important Anglican figures to refute King Charles II's arguments for Catholicism, and he received an excuse and no answer from one of the most important Anglican figures. It seems likely he received nothing apart from this poor response. King James II had been willing to convert to Anglicanism, but he obviously did not; this was likely due to the response not even having included an attempt to refute the arguments.

Most of the video is from ‘The First Churchills’ as the other lad said, but there are a few clips from a film titled ‘England, My England’ about Henry Purcell.
Ah, the Glorious Revolution. I'm torn between my support of religious freedom and dislike of foreign rule and my love for democracy and hatred of monarchical absolutism.
Religious freedom seems likely to be better than the majority imposing their system of understanding this reality, on everyone and leaving none to have a different knowledge of what controls the natural forces. Some people may have different psychology, and after all, how do people have instinctive emotional reactions towards certain noises? Perhaps some came in contact with a certain natural phenomenon in a way where they became quite sure it was largely controlled by a certain entity. And perhaps their descendants inherited a sense that made them quickly realize what likely was causing a certain natural phenomenon to behave a certain way. And perhaps those people following that understanding will survive and others won't, even though it seemed to others very unlikely that the former are correct in their belief of the cause of the phenomenon's behaviors. Much of this seems unlikely, but if those people are the only ones to survive, it seems more likely for the other people to be brought back to life etc. very quickly than if no one survived at all.
James II and VII were undoubtedly tyrannical. He ruled with an authoritarian manner, disregarded English parliamentary traditions, and attempted to force his religious views on a predominantly Protestant nation. James did not hesitate to suspend laws and use military force to silence those who opposed him. These actions clearly reflect the behavior of a tyrannical ruler, both in the context of the time and by today's standards, which value constitutionalism and human rights.

Certainly the perception at the time was that Roman Catholicism was indistinguishable from the despotism of Louis XIV and religious persecution exemplified by the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes and then they were much nearer to memories of Bloody Mary & the St Bartholomews Day Massacre. The Secret Treaty of Dover 1670 was not really such a secret & this was a promise by Charles II to convert Britain to Catholicism by force if needs be that James seemed intent on fulfilling
To be completely honest, I read your comment 8 months ago, took Brome’s name out of the description, felt dissatisfied the lyrics I found online were wrong, then forgot it within a few months. I only ‘re-discovered’ the oddity a few days ago when I was attempting to find original ballads for some songs sung by ‘strawhead’ and saw the lyrics accompanied by the heading of ‘a catch’ rather than an actual title. I do appreciate that original comment, though as idiotic as I may sound, your comment was not any reason nor cause for my recent community post or re-uploaded video with the corrected lyrics/title, I just happened to find a digital version of the songbook with the song.

Here again for the third time
God Bless King James II ✝️✝️
Thank you, still very sorry about all the re-uploading.
Sorry for being late, American schools last long, anyways absolutely amazing, you are awesome! Love from Texas to Britain!
Beautiful song mate!
The majority aren't necessarily always right!
theres more of them thats the problem.
they rarely are
At 1:15 I believe the portrait shown is of Death of King James II at Cheateau of Saint-Germaine and King Louis XIV is present there.
Yes it is, oddly there isn’t that many portraits of King James in a wider view, just the singular portraits and a few engravings from his coronation.
God Save King James II ⚜️
God Save our King James II!
Tandem Triumphans! 🏴✝️🇻🇦❤🔥
That Revolution is called Great for a good reason!
It is usually termed Glorious - and for Titus Oates it was as he was released from prison!
It was a' for our rightful King.

This james II coronation anthem, not an Exaltation song …

thanks for the explanation
what movies/documentaries did you get these scenes from?
The First Churchills (1969), episode 6 The Protestant Wind. Worth watching.

To me a true king wouldn't aid in the murder of his subjects

You can thank me sooner for the earlier comment, @Imperial_Britannia.
