This publication is a detailed calendar and record of the proceedings of the House of Lords during the years 1689-1690, a critical period in British history marked by political transition and the establishment of constitutional monarchy. It includes significant events such as the Convention Parliament's debates on the abdication of King James II, the declaration of the throne's vacancy, and the ascension of William and Mary as King and Queen. The book also documents the development of new oaths and legislation aimed at solidifying the authority of the new rulers and addressing religious and political tensions.
