Mary II (1662–1694)
Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1688. She was the Protestant elder daughter of the Catholic James II, and in 1677 was married to her cousin William of Orange. After the Glorious Revolution of 1688 she accepted the crown jointly with William.
During William's absences from England she took charge of the government, and showed courage and resource when invasion seemed possible in 1690 and 1692.
