He was married to the daughter of King James II, and was asked by James’s enemies to become king instead of him. William and his Protestant army beat James and his Catholic army at the Battle of the Boyne, and for this reason he is still greatly admired by Protestants in Northern Ireland who sometimes call him ‘King Billy’.
