Family rivalries prevented the election of Jakub Ludwik Sobieski even though Austria supported his candidacy. Jakub Ludwik Sobieski's own mother, Marie Casimire, favored her son-in-law, Maximilian II] Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria. The powerful King Louis XIV of France supported Francois Louis, Prince of Conti (1664-1709). In the end, Frederick Augustus, Elector of Saxony, who renounced Lutheranism and converted to Catholicism in order to qualify, was crowned as Augustus II, King of Poland on 1 September 1697. It was the first time that a deceased monarch's son had not been elected to succeed him, the previous king's heir had been debarred from the throne by military force, and that a German became king (which went against a tradition of avoiding German hegemony).

An orange falls from the tree’s branches, knocking the crown from James II’s head (I) as Queen Mary Beatrice of Modena, holding the infant Prince of Wales, comments that “the smell of this Tree offends mee and the child,” her words taking the form of a banderole rising from her mouth. At the lower right, the queen’s confessor, Father Petre (L), flees to Europe with other members of the court (N), who cry: “How strong it smells of a free Parlement” and “That’s rank poison to a Jesuits nose.” At the upper right, the Church of England (A), described in the text beneath the image as “almost over throwne by the infernal councel of the most Christian Turk [Louis XIV],” is supported by God, who appears as a disembodied eye. Through twin rays of light, God declares the restoration of the Church of England and blesses the Williamite invasion: “With this Balsamick Plant [the orange tree] |’l heale Thy Wounds” and “My blessing shall attend thee [the Prince of Orange] every where.” At left, Louis XIV (G) murders his Protestant subjects upon the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, while his council of devils and Jesuits (H), gathered in the clouds above, sends priests and foul winds to disturb the peace of Europe.
