William III, King of England, Prince of Orange

Hand-colored Currier & Ives lithograph of William III, Prince of Orange. William III & II (November 4, 1650 - March 8, 1702) was a sovereign Prince of Orange of the House of Orange-Nassau by birth. From 1689 he reigned as William III over England and Ireland. As King of Scotland, he is known as William II. In 1688 he invaded England in an action that ultimately deposed King James II & VII and won him the crowns of England, Scotland and Ireland. In the British Isles, William ruled jointly with his wife, Mary II, until her death in 1694. A Protestant, William participated in several wars against the powerful Catholic king of France, Louis XIV. Many Protestants heralded him as a champion of their faith. Largely because of that reputation, William was able to take the British crowns when many were fearful of a revival of Catholicism under James. William's victory over James at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 is still commemorated by the Orange Order. His reign marked the beginning of the transition from the personal rule of the Stuarts to the more Parliament-centered rule of the House of Hanover. He died in 1702, aged 51, of pneumonia, a complication from a broken collarbone following a fall from his horse, Sorrel.
