Why is the England Revolution called a bloodless revolution?

The England Revolution—also known as the Glorious Revolution—is sometimes called a bloodless revolution. While the transition of power in England was largely void of the fighting and loss of life that often accompanies revolutions, calling it a bloodless revolution perhaps is not accurate either. 

In fact, there was fighting and death in both Scotland and Ireland during this revolution. However, given the fact that this fighting occurred outside of England, history hasn't been kind in remembering the fact that lives were lost during the "bloodless revolution." Modern historians will now often simply refer to it as the Revolution of 1688.

Despite the loss of these lives, the revolution was largely a successful example of how overthrowing power can end peacefully. The revolution, which occurred in 1688, brought with it one of England's most important political documents—the Bill of Rights. Similarly, this revolution marked the beginning of a constitutional monarchy, rather than a Catholic monarchy. This meant that no single individual could hold absolute power.
