People Profiles, you out done yourselves! This must be the most complete documentary of Queen Mary II to exist. 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 feel like Queen Mary II and Queen Anne get overlooked a lot in history, when both women were strong in their own ways.

Wonderful retelling of this piece of history.

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.

I live close to William and Mary college and its beautiful ❤️

Very interesting

As an American this reign is so central to who we are in terms of our psyche. It’s the beginning of merchant power in parliament. A small detail but essential to understanding our Revolution.

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.

I may have missed it, but I don't recall any mention of the fact that both William and Mary were grandchildren of Charles I and therefore William also had a claim to the throne (they were 1st cousins).

If this guy's doing the voiceover then you know it's going to be good.

More of the Stuarts! Thanks For this Guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

This is my favourite narrator on your channel! Could sleep to his voice.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful documentary. It’s a period of history that I know very little about ❤

Thoroughly enjoyed the story of Queen Mary ll. I knew she was responsible for finding the College of William and Mary but I did not know she involved herself in many other social issues. Mr. Johnson did masterful job with his narration.

That is a very flattering thumbnail of Mary II.

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.

Thanks.

Superb! Look forward to William III and Anne at some point, and Stephen to complete the Normans. Hopefully we'll get the rest of the Hanoverian kings too at some point. 🙂

When will there be a People Profile on Queen Anne? She was not only the last of the Line but also mended a lot of long-standing division on the British Isles. All while dealing with much personal pain.
