Anne Stuart
Anne was born in the reign of Charles II of England to his younger brother and heir presumptive, James, whose suspected Roman Catholicism was unpopular in England. On Charles's instructions Anne and her elder sister, Mary, were raised as Anglicans. Mary married their Dutch Protestant cousin, William III of Orange, in 1677, and Anne married Charles II of Spain in 1683.
Her marriage was dominated by the political struggle between French and Austrian factions over the Spanish throne, which resulted in the 1701 to 1714 War of the Spanish Succession. When Charles died in 1700, he was succeeded by the French candidate, Philip V and Anne returned to Great Britain. She lived largely forgotten until her death in 1720, she was passed over in the succession in favor of the Hanoverians due to her marriage with Charles II of Spain.
