A Welsh plotter in 1688 : Bishop Lloyd of St Asaph

Abstract

The role of Bishop William Lloyd of St Asaph in the Revolution of 1688-9 has generally been seen as that of a mainstream Anglican bishop who sought unanimity with other Churchmen in response to James II’s policies. The argument presented here is that Lloyd’s role needs thorough re-evaluation because he was, in fact, a committed conspirator who actively plotted to be rid of James in 1688. In this account, Lloyd emerges both as a determined and committed conspirator and as one of the plotters of the revolution of 1688.  He also strongly promoted the revolution in his diocese.
