However, for Williamites in England, Scotland and Ireland, William was seen as the guarantor of civil and religious liberty and the Protestant monarchy against Catholic Absolutism . The term "Williamite" is most commonly used to refer to William's multi-national army in Ireland during the Williamite War In Ireland , 1689-91.

In Ireland itself, William was supported by Protestant settlers and opposed by the native Irish catholic Jacobites who supported James. He is still depicted in the iconography of the Orange Order , whose name comes from William's dynasty, the House Of Orange-Nassau .
