James, See also:duke of See also:York, afterwards King James II., by his first wife, See also:Anne, daughter of See also:Edward See also:Hyde, 1st See also:earl of See also:Clarendon, was See also:born in See also:London on the 3oth of See also:April 1662. She was educated as a See also:Protestant, and as it was probable that she would succeed to the See also:English See also:throne after the deaths of her See also:uncle, See also:Charles II., and her See also:father, the choice of a See also:husband for her was a See also:political event of high importance. About 1672 the name of William, See also:prince of See also:Orange, was mentioned in this connexion; and after some hesitation on both sides caused by the See also:condition of See also:European politics, the See also:betrothal of William and Mary took See also:place in See also:October 1677, and was quickly followed by their See also:marriage in London on the 4th of See also:November.

Holland does not appear to have been a happy one. Although she soon became popular among the Dutch, she remained childless, while William treated her with neglect and even with insult; and her troubles were not diminished after her father became king of England in 1685. James had treated his daughter very shabbily in See also:money matters; and it was increasingly difficult for her to remain loyal to both father and husband when they were so divergent in See also:character and policy. Although Mary never entirely lost her See also:affection for her father the wife prevailed over the daughter; and after the See also:birth of her See also:half-See also:brother, the prince of See also:Wales, in 1688, she regarded the dethronement of James as inevitable. It cannot be said, however, that William merited this confidence. Possibly he was jealous of his wife as the heiress of the English throne, contrasting her future position with his own; but according to See also:Burnet, who was then staying at the See also:Hague, this cause of difference was removed by the tactful interference of Burnet himself. The latter asserts that having divined the See also:reason of the prince's See also:jealousy he mentioned the See also:matter to the princess, who in her See also:ignorance of statecraft had never considered the relative positions of herself and her husband with regard to the English throne; and that Mary, by telling the prince " she would be no more but his wife, and that she would do all that See also:lay in her See also:power to make him king for life " (Burnet, Supplement, ed. Foxcroft, p. 309), probably mollified her husband's jealousy. On the other See also:hand See also:Macaulay's statement that henceforward there was " entire friendship and confidence " between them must be taken with some reserve. Mary shared heartily in the events which immediately preceded William's expedition to England in 1688. After the success of the undertaking she arrived in London in See also:February 1689; and by her faithful adherence to her promise made a satisfactory See also:settlement of the English See also:crown possible. William and Mary were together proclaimed king and queen of England, and afterwards of See also:Scotland, and were crowned on the 11th of April 1689. During the king's See also:absence from England the queen, assisted by a See also:committee of the privy See also:council, was entrusted with the duties of See also:government, duties which she performed faithfully, but which she gladly laid down on William's return. In these times of danger, however, she acted when necessary with courage and promptitude, as when in 16go she directed the See also:arrest of her uncle See also:- HENRY

She was further distressed by a See also:quarrel with her See also:sister Anne in 1692 following the dismissal of See also:Marlborough, and this event somewhat diminished her popularity, which had hitherto been one of the mainstays of the throne. Weak in See also:body and troubled in mind, the queen died at See also:Kensington See also:Palace from small-pox on the 28th of See also:December 1694, and was buried in See also:Westminster See also:Abbey. Mary was a woman of a remarkably modest and retiring disposition, whose outstanding virtue was perhaps her unswerving See also:loyalty to William. Burnet has passed a remarkable See also:panegyric upon her character. She was extremely pious and charitable; her blameless private life was in marked contrast with her surroundings, both in England and Holland; without bigotry she was greatly attached to the Protestant faith and to the See also:- CHURCH
