Queen Anne
Anne was the daughter of Britain's King James II (James VII of Scotland) and his first wife. She supported her sister and brother-in-law, William and Mary, in the Glorious Revolution which overthrew James II. In 1702, after William and Mary had both died, Anne inherited the throne.
Anne was married to Prince George of Denmark. Most of her approximately 17 pregnancies ended in miscarriage or stillbirth, and none of her children survived to adulthood. Queen Anne was the last Stuart monarch. She died in 1714 and, in accordance with the 1701 Act of Settlement, was succeeded by the German elector of Hanover, who became King George I.
