Descrizione:

James II was given £2 million per year by the English Parliament in 1685 as a part of the deal he made with the Parliament to keep a standing army. This was a significant amount of money at the time, and it was intended to cover the costs of maintaining a professional army that was loyal to the Crown. The decision to give James II this sum was not without controversy, as many members of Parliament were concerned about the potential for a standing army to be used against the people of England. However, James II was able to secure the funding he needed to maintain his army, which played a significant role in the political events of his reign.

also it was seen as a little bribe aswell to keep him happy and to not try anything stupid
