Editor's Take:

Mary II helped make the Glorious Revolution possible. Her Protestant faith and her claim as James II's daughter gave her husband's invasion legitimacy. She agreed to share the crown with William, leaving most decisions to him. When he was away fighting, she governed with skill. She also took a keen interest in gardens and Delft china. Her early death from smallpox left William to rule alone.
