Mary II of England

Mary II was joint monarch of England, Scotland, and Ireland with her husband and first cousin, William of Orange, from 1689 until her death. William and Mary, both Protestants, became king and queen regnant following the Glorious Revolution, which resulted in the adoption of the English Bill of Rights and the deposition of her Roman Catholic father, James II and VII. William became sole ruler upon her death in 1694. Popular histories usually refer to their joint reign as that of William and Mary.

Mary, born at St. Jamess Palace in London onApril 1662, was the eldest daughter of James, Duke of York , and his first wife, Anne Hyde. Marys uncle was King Charles II, who ruled the three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland her maternal grandfather, Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, served for a lengthy period as Charless chief advisor. She was baptised into the Anglican faith in the Chapel Royal at St. Jamess, and was named after her ancestor, Mary, Queen of Scots. Her godparents included her fathers cousin, Prince Rupert of the Rhine. Although her mother bore eight children, all except Mary and her younger sister Anne died very young, and King Charles II had no legitimate children. Consequently, for most of her childhood, Mary was second in line to the throne after her father.
