Mary II and Anne, daughters of James II, ruled England, Scotland, and Ireland. Mary reigned jointly with her husband, William III of Orange, and championed the Protestant cause. After Mary's death, Anne ascended to the throne and further solidified Protestant rule. She oversaw England's union with Scotland in 1707, creating the Kingdom of Great Britain. Their reigns were marked by political intrigue, war with France, and significant developments in the relationship between the monarchy and Parliament.
