Summary
It’s been a little while since our last installment in this series - and Dr. Porter begins by explaining the reason for the delay.
In today’s episode, we turn to the husband of Mary II - a figure who plays a pivotal role not only in her life, but also in the story of Mary of Modena, whom we recently explored with Dr. Breeze Barrington. The connections between these royal lives make this discussion especially compelling.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about a man I previously knew very little about: William of Orange, the future William III. I hope you enjoy Dr. Porter’s insights as much as I did.

| 0:46.7 | occasional series anyhow and but to to cut a long story short we've had a hell of a difficult |
| 0:53.5 | autumn with all sorts of personal problems and a lot of illness. |
| 0:57.5 | And I'm only just sort of emerging from that. |
| 1:01.5 | And with other commitments as well, it's not been easy. |
| 1:05.1 | But I'm pleased to get to William III because it takes me back into the Stuarts. |
| 1:10.2 | And while thinking about it this morning, I thought, |
| 1:14.5 | this is really a lot more complicated than the Tudors, |
| 1:18.9 | which it is. |
| 1:21.1 | Because it's 100 years closer to us in time, |
