Mary of Modena served as Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland as the second wife of James II and VII. A devout Catholic, she was devoted to her husband and children. Mary is primarily remembered for the controversial birth of her only surviving son, James Francis Edward. Following the “Glorious Revolution” that deposed James II and VII, Mary lived in exile in France, representing her son, the Jacobite claimant to the thrones, until his age of 16. Fondly remembered by her French contemporaries, Mary passed away in 1718.
