Convention of Estates

Convention of Estates

The Oxford Companion to British History | 2002 | | Copyright

Convention of Estates, 1689. The flight of James VII in 1688 made it impossible to summon a legal Scottish Parliament. It was therefore decided to fall back upon a Convention of Estates, which had often been summoned in emergencies, and which met on 14 March 1689 in Edinburgh. By the Claim of Right it declared that James VII had been deposed and the Articles of Grievances took the opportunity to protest against the organization of business by the lords of the Articles. In June the Convention declared itself a parliament.
