A propos de cet article

xiii, 398 p.; 4 pl.; 22 cm. Compton had officiated at the marriage of William of Orange and Princess Mary which "was somewhat hastily solemnised in Princess Mary's bedroom by Compton at nine o'clock in the evening of 4 November" 1677 (p. 36) and at their coronation in 1689. "Despite such `popularity at Court', one thing seems quite certain, namely, that Mary, a woman of genuine piety, and sincerely interested in the welfare of the Church, who knew the Bishop of London intimately, did not want him as Archbishop: and that Tillotson, when he himself was seeking to withdraw from the Primacy, suggested not Compton, the obvious choice, but Stillingfleet. Gilbert Burnet, who had the ear both of the King and the Queen, supported the nomination of Tillotson, and though he recognised the Bishop of London's Protestant zeal, yet regarded him, perhaps unfairly, as `weak and wilful'. Was it therefore some defect of character, some temperamental irresponsibility, which made William and Mary emphatic that they did not want Compton at Lambeth? Though both monarchs had benefited from the Bishop's duplicity to James at the Revolution, it may be that they were in a measure shocked at such conduct in a churchman and felt they they could not really trust him. Perhaps, also, the prescient William recognised that such an appointment would exacerbate the feelings of the Nonjurors; perhaps he himself preferred someone to whom he did not owe so much. The immediate effect upon Compton of his being passed over was extreme and he made little effort to conceal his disappointment." (p. 174).…
