The current article title "Invitation to William" seems to be to generic for the subject matter. There have undoubtably been other invitations written to other people named William over the course of history. I would suggest something more specific, such as "Invitation to William of Orange by the Immortal Seven" 63.192.83.15 ( talk) 22:25, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
I propose that we merge this with the Immortal Seven. I was going to add their names here till I saw that link. The text on the two pages will necessarily be nearly identical, and I think someone who looks for either term should see the information that is on both together without having to click on any links.

The Invitation to William was a letter sent by seven notable Englishmen, later named the Immortal Seven, to William III, Prince of Orange, received by him on 1688-06-30 (Julian calendar, 10 July Gregorian calendar), asking him, because in England a Catholic male heir, James Francis Edward Stuart, had been born, to force the ruling king, his father-in-law James II of England, by military intervention to make William's Protestant wife Mary, James's eldest daughter, heir to the throne, preferably by establishing that the newborn Prince of Wales was a fraud.
This opening sentence is badly structured; it's quite long and hard to read, and it also makes confusing overuse of commas. Should be revised? Speed and Sleep 14:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Was the document signed on 30 June or received by William on that date? It presumably cannot have been both. Drutt ( talk) 19:18, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
