Historique
Anne was the second daughter of the Duke of York, afterwards King James II of England and VII of Scotland. She succeeded to the throne in 1702 following the death of her brother-in-law William III of Orange, joint monarch with his wife Mary, Anne’s elder sister, following the deposition of King James II in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Anne’s reign was short and relatively peaceful, although it did witness a further tightening of the Penal Laws against the Roman Catholic population in Ireland.
