Anne
Anne (1665–1714) Queen of Great Britain and Ireland (1702–14). The second daughter of
James II, Anne succeeded
William III (of Orange) as the last
Stuart sovereign and, after the Act of
Union (1707), the first monarch of the United Kingdom of England and Scotland. Brought up a Protestant, she married Prince George of Denmark (1683). Despite 18 pregnancies, no child survived her. The War of the
Spanish Succession (1701–14) dominated her reign, and is often called Queen Anne's War. Anne was the last English monarch to exercise the royal veto over legislation (1707), but the rise of parliamentary government was inexorable. The military success of the Duke of
Marlborough increased the influence that his wife, Sarah Churchill, had over domestic policy. Tories, sceptical of military involvement, were removed from high office. Tory victory in the elections of 1710 led to the dismissal of the Marlboroughs, and Abigail Masham and Robert Harley emerged as the Queen's new favourites. The
Jacobite cause was crushed when Anne was succeeded by
George I. The most lasting aspect of her reign was the strength of contemporary arts and culture.
