Being a big fan and supporter of Mary II, even I gained more knowledge about this extraordinary (and more than often forgotten) Queen Regnant through this throughly researched documentary. All I can say is thank you People Profiles. Thank you for doing her justice!!!

    I'm glad to learn about Maryll😊. She was an amazing woman and died before her time. I wish her and Elizabeth could have made friends and cousins. But when you have two queens that want to rule two places is not possible. Elizabeth was more ruthless than Mary. But in the end her son claimed both thrones 🤭😄. Which in reality was her endgame 😉🤗

    Excellent summary. One note: Mary I and Elizabeth I were not coronated by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The same bishop, a conservative, that is, a Catholic, crowned both. Elizabeth told him not to raise the host at the coronation Mass since that action was a gesture affirming Catholic Transubstantiation. The Bishop raised the host. Elizabeth soon had him deposed from his position of bishop.

    You failed to mention that William III was also a grandchild of Charles I. His mother was Charles I's eldest daughter. Thus, William and Mary were first cousins. He was the senior Protestant male heir to the throne of England and Scotland. This was the reason he was made King and not Prince Consort. This was a huge, and curious, omission on your part.

    The reason he was made king was that he came over with the Dutch army, had London occupied and was on a mission to protect his beloved protestantism against France. He would not accept anything else, whatever false legitimicay had to be made up in the process. He had no issue with rights for the parliament either, he was used to what had been the political situation in the Dutch Republic for over a century. He brought John Locke over from the Dutch Republic, where he wrote his important works, himself. He accompanied Mary on the crossing.

    Hi. That was such a very good and interesting documentary on Mary II. I hope the next one will be on King William III, which I hope won't be to far away. I've waiting long and hard for another documentary on a Stuart monarch for about 8 months now. These clips are always of great interest to me, as I've been a big fan of history for 25 long years now. I hope the next one will be up in the next few days to a week or so eventually. The following ones, I hope will be on William III and the battle of the Boyne, Queen Anne, George I, George II, George IV and William IV. Those six monarchs are the only ones missing from these fascinating documentaries right now currently. But fingers crossed they're coming up. What I find common but a bit unusual, is the fact that while William was just over 11 years older then Mary, but while he was about 5ft 6, she was about 5ft 10 in height which I'd say was a little strange really. But the most important main thing was that they were very loyal and highly devoted to each other throughout their marriage until Mary's death. I'm sure she was delighted to hear of her older husband's victory at the battle of the Boyne in Ireland on 1 July 1690. He had a very big army of 36,000 men, while his uncle and father in law James II had 25,000 men in his army. Do keep them coming through as often as possible please. Hope to hear from you shortly.

She was advised by him, but he didn’t hold any legal power over England.

    Mary II would have been criticized regardless of whether she supported her father or her husband - that would have been a hellish situation to be in. I think she was a woman who did the best she could as she saw it. One study that would interest me very much, if it would be possible, would be a medical one. She, her mother, and her sister all struggled so much to bring healthy children into the world - was there a genetic predisposition to something that would cause it?

    "Usually with a Queen Consort or King Consort ....." It's a prince consort that will be coronated if the Queen is the monarch. Of course, before William and Mary the only Queens regnant were Mary I and Elizabeth (some argue Mathilda and Jane), neither of which was married at the time of their respective coronations. I did not know that Philip of Spain was considered a co-regnant with Mary. I've never heard that in history... Perhaps it is because he spent most of the time away from England anyway? Anyway, this was a fantastic video. One of your best yet!

    31:03 This is the great moment in history . When William of Orange and Mary II ascended the throne , during their Coronation Oath , they swore to recognize the sovereignty of Parliament . " Will You solemnely Promise and Sweare to Governe the People of this Kingdome of England and the Dominions thereto belonging according to the Statutes in Parlyament Agreed on and the Laws and Customs of the same? " The King and Queene shall say, " I solemnly Promise soe to doe. " As Parliament was an elected body , this is the beginning of democracy in the modern world . However , at the time only wealthy land owners had the vote . So James II ( VII ) was the last absolute Monarch , and William III and Mary II were the first Constitutional Monarchs . John Locke's Enlightenment ideas influenced the 1689 English Bill of Rights - which was passed in Nov of that year . .

    do not marry white people is the moral of the story. They all have wetiko. every last one. THE NATIVE EUROPEANS and NATIVE AMERICANS went down the same way. Now both look indistinguishable from Caucasians.[🏰👑] and caucasians are in their castles now. as tribal leaders or queen. Caucasian only operate on Natural Law; everything is a tool } faith, war, love, friendship, politics, genocide. the messed up part is that all the true royals around the world knew this: because they share the same secret text. Scotland Ireland Wales knew when the real romans fell in 913AD. they know that the real Londoners were genocide ; they lost complete control of europe. They knew Germany had issue controlling who in coming in the kingdom. You have 2 dragons at the corner of Eurasia as a "stop gap" measure 1. Dragon🐲👱🏿‍♀ 🏰 in Wales + 1 Dragon🐲👱🏿‍♀🏰 in China they drop the ball. 🤴🏽👸🏾 💬 Portugal + 🤴🏽👸🏾 💬 Germany is the one that called the Moors up to Europe as back up security - because Moors have a fiduciary promise set in ancient Egypt. in the end they blamed Nepal/India and CANCELLED NEPAL from the Knights of the Rhune for the white invasion. the undoxxing of the America location is very problematic and show that the 𝓼𝓮𝓬𝓻𝓮𝓽 𝓸𝓻𝓭𝓮𝓻 is fractured. - that was an act of war. King Charles, and Queen Camilla have no DNA or spiritual rights to that land. YOU CANNOT RULE without the blessing of the 3 tribes of the island. taking Scotland crowning ceremonial STONE and stuffing it under the throne🙄 = is not Blessing to rule. they have wetiko; which why its no problem for them to take out Diana or try to run over meghan Markel. The real reason Harry took her out is for safety. Wales is the only one that gave these people permission to rule but Wales also told the fake Roman they are ok too. spoiled + soft. terrible combination for a people; you can only use your bloodline for so long.

    Lots of anglocentric nonsense. Capitalism didn't emerge from London in the early 17th century, it emerged from the Dutch Republic. That's why the English couldn't compete in the European trade and moved to Asia and the America's where their gun ships mattered, while the Dutch did more than half of all European sea trade. That's what made the Dutch filthy rich, they went to Asia and the America's too but initially for the war and it was peanuts to the Dutch economy when it started to return a profit first in the 1630's. No, William asked to be invited while the Dutch parliament already had a huge fleet and invasion force build for this goal, not for France. William taking the inititiative and contacting the immortal 7 is well documented by primary sources and even British historians know about it for years now. William had no army himself he was commander because he was appointed stadtholder by those same Dutch parliaments.
