William & Mary 1689-1694 AD
After the death of Charles II in 1685 he was succeeded by his younger brother, James, who became James II of England and James VII of Scotland. Within three years he proved so unpopular he was forced to abdicate and William of Orange and his wife Mary, daughter of James II, were invited to reign in his stead. Parliament took the opportunity to impose restrictions on the new rulers, the beginnings of the constitutional monarchy under which the country is still governed. When Mary died of smallpox in 1694, William continued as king until his death in 1701. He was succeeded by the second daughter of James II, Anne. One of the most notable events of her reign was the Act of Union, passed in 1707, finally uniting England and Scotland.
