How did King James lose the throne?

He was deposed in the Glorious Revolution (1688–89) and replaced by William III and Mary II. That revolution, engendered by James’s Roman Catholicism, permanently established Parliament as the ruling power of England. James II was the second surviving son of Charles I and Henrietta Maria.

What happened to Mary Queen of Scots son James?

Realising that he had made an error of judgement, he did not enforce the Articles, and did not try again to introduce ecclesiastical innovations. He died on 27 March 1625.
