20 III. Reign

21

22 Anne became queen upon the death of William III on 8 March 1702, and was immediately popular. Soon after her accession, Anne appointed her husband Lord High Admiral, giving him nominal control of the Royal Navy. Anne was crowned on St George's Day, 23 April 1702.

Act of Union Anne had declared it "very necessary" to conclude a union of England and Scotland in her first speech to the English Parliament. Under the Acts of Union, England and Scotland were united into a single kingdom called Great Britain, with one parliament, on 1 May 1707.

Two-Party Politics Anne's reign was marked by the further development of a two-party system.

Death of her husband In October 1708, Anne's husband died. A turning point in her relationship with the Duchess of Marlborough.

War of the Spanish Succession By signing the Treaty of Utrecht, King Louis XIV of France recognised the Hanoverian succession in Britain. Nevertheless, gossip that Anne and her ministers favoured the succession of her half-brother rather than the Hanoverians continued, despite Anne's denials in public and in private.

Death Anne was unable to walk between January and July At Christmas, she was feverish, and lay unconscious for hours. She recovered, but was seriously ill again in March. By July, Anne had lost confidence in Harley. She died at around 7:30 a.m. on 1 August 1714.
