Notes about Mary II Stuart, Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland, Prinses van Oranje

British Monarch. The eldest daughter of King James II and his first wife Anne Hyde, Mary was married to William, Prince of Orange, on November 4, 1677 at the age of 16. The marriage did not begin happily, and Mary was homesick living in Holland. When her catholic father was sent into exile in 1688, the protestant William agreed, at first reluctantly, to take the throne of Britain. Some sources say Parliament offered the throne to Mary to rule in her own right with William as her prince consort, but she, subservient to her husband, refused to be placed above him. The couple was crowned on April 11, 1689 at Westminster Abbey. Theirs was a joint reign, but Mary governed only when William was out of the country. She did however prove to be competant, strong, and effective. The reign of William and Mary marked the end of royal perogative, with Parliament taking a prominent role in the governing of the nation and keeping the monarch in check. Mary died of smallpox at Kensington Palace at the age of 33, leaving William as sole ruler. William's Dutch advisors and policy of intervention in Europe was resented by the English. He died in 1702, and as the couple had no surviving children, the throne passed to Mary's younger sister, Ann
