who was king willaim and what country celbrates him on 12th july every year?

Question

he was orange

Answer 1

William of Orange - King of England - is celebrated in Northern Ireland on the 12 July by the protestants only - the country as a whole does not celebrate him.

Answer 2

William III was king of Holland and became king of England and Scotland when James II was ejected because of his Catholic policies in 1688. England then became involved in the war between the French Louis XIV and Holland. Louis supported an attempt by James II to regain his throne by an invasion of Ireland. James was defeated at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 which is what Irish Protestants celebrate on July 12th.

Answer 3

You are thinking of King William III of England. He was a prince of the Orange dynasty in the Netherlands, who came to the throne of England jointly with his wife Queen Mary II of England whose father James II was the previous King.

William & Mary upheld the supremacy of Protestants in society and government whereas James II had been a Catholic. William took military action to ensure that Ireland remained under British, Protestant rule, despite the fact that most of its people were Roman Catholics. Whatever his motives at the time, it sowed deep problems for the people of Ireland and Britain in future centuries.

It is the Protestant minority in the island of Ireland who celebrate William's victory at the Battle of the Boyne.

Answer 4

Actually I think he was White. He was a prince of Holland whose Royal House was (and still is) the House of Orange. Orange is a state in Southern France and is Catholic, quite why the Protestant Dutch Royal Family took that name may become clear as you get further answers.
I would have thought it was clear to most people that it is Northern Ireland who keep this outdated event. The Battle of the Boyne at which William defeated King James II was very largely political (The Pope celebrated James defeat). William married James' daughter Mary and William and Mary ruled as joint Monarchs - a very rare event in Britain. Mary died of smallpox and then William ruled as William III. Upon his death, his daughter became Queen Anne.

Answer 5

He is more commonly known as William of orange - a King of England who fought the "Battle of the Boyne" which the "orange marches" in Northern Ireland celebrate!

Answer 6

sure, issues are starting to be plenty worse because of the fact the Nineteen Sixties. there is greater violence, and no-one is intense high quality to each man or woman anymore. a good ingredient is that Minorities have now replace into maximum folk. and that they have got equivalent rights to individuals that have been maximum folk.
