Mary II of England
Mary II (
30 April 1662 –
28 December 1694) reigned as Queen of
England and
Ireland from
13 February 1689, and as
Queen of Scots (as Mary II of Scotland) from
11 April 1689 until her death. Mary, a
Protestant, came to the thrones following the
Glorious Revolution, which resulted in the deposition of her
Roman Catholic father,
James II. Mary reigned jointly with her husband and first cousin,
William III, 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.

Maria II d'Inghilterra
Maria,
protestante, salì al trono in seguito alla
Gloriosa Rivoluzione, durante la quale fu deposto suo padre, il cattolico
Giacomo II. Maria regnò congiuntamente al marito e primo cugino
Guglielmo III, che divenne unico regnante dopo la sua morte. Maria, sebbene sovrana di suo proprio diritto, non esercitò il suo potere durante la maggior parte del suo regno: governò, tuttavia, mentre il marito si trovava sul continente per combattere contro gli eserciti del
Re Sole.
