Where William and Mary related?

William and Mary refers to two separate individuals, King William III of England and Queen Mary II, who were married and jointly ruled England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1689 until Mary's death in 1694. They came to power following the Glorious Revolution, which resulted in the overthrow of Mary’s father, King James II. Their reign is significant for establishing constitutional monarchy and the Bill of Rights in 1689, which laid the groundwork for modern democracy in Britain. The College of William & Mary in Virginia is named in their honor.
