Queen Anne was the younger sister of Mary II, half of England’s only joint monarchy, William and Mary. When they died, Anne had no interest in sharing the throne with her husband. She was the first married Queen of England to rule on her own. Anne was a strong political player and oversaw the creation of the new nation of Great Britain. She had a long term, possibly romantic relationship with Sarah Churchill, but when political differences tore them apart, she transferred her affections to another lady in waiting, Abigail Marsham. Anne had 17 pregnancies, but none of her children survived childhood. Her death meant the end of the Stuart Dynasty and the throne went to her German cousin, George I. Let's examine the life of Queen Anne.Music: Brandenburg Concerto No4-1 BWV1049 - Classical Whimsical by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100303Artist: http://incompetech.com/Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!Check out my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/lindsayholidayPlease consider supporting me at https://www.patreon.com/LindsayHoliday and help me make more fascinating episodes!Intro Music: Baroque Coffee House by Doug Maxwell#HistoryTeaTime #LindsayHolidayPlease contact ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ if you would like to advertise on this podcast.Learn more about your ad choices.
