Mary, a Protestant, came to the thrones following the Glorious Revolution, which resulted in the deposition of her Roman Catholic father, James II & VII of England. Mary reigned jointly with her husband and first cousin, William III of England, who became the sole ruler of both countries upon her death in 1694. Popular histories usually refer to the joint reigns as those of "William and Mary". Mary, although a sovereign in her own right, did not wield power during most of her reign, instead ceding it to her husband. She did, however, govern the realms when William was engaged in military campaigns abroad.

Mary married William III Orange- Nassau Prince of Orange in 1677. (William III Orange- Nassau Prince of Orange was born on 14 Nov 1650 in Binnenhof, The Hague and died on 8 Mar 1702 in Kensington Palace, London England.)
