Best Answer

Mary the Second was the daughter of James the Second, and she married William of Orange.

They were joint monarchs, until her early death in 1694.

He reigned on till his death in 1702.

Their short reign was a time of fine craftsmanship, and a 'William and Mary' desk or bookcase is a prized class of furniture.

William III married his first-cousin Mary II.

William was Prince Orange by birth but reigned England for 13 years.

I'm not sure what information you want but here is the Wikipedia website whose link is below

Simple facts:

  • William was 39 when he became king and ruled for 13 years.
  • He was born on the 14th November, 1650.
  • William died on the 8th of March 1702 due to Pneumonia and a complication from a broken collar resulting from falling of his horse!

Known as William and Mary- the name of a College. Jointly-reigning monarchs. Mary II died in l694 of smallpox of all things. Mary II is buried in Westminster Abbey./ The joint reign was noted for the so-called Glorious Revolution, which was not a war or battle but a campaign of religious tolerance between Anglicans and Roman Catholics. I often wondered just what they meant by a Glorious Revolution, then looked it up.
