Can anyone give me a list of the English throne line from 1675-1725?

Question

I'm writing a novel based on this time period and I need to know who the king/queen was at the current time: the protagonist keeps making subtle references to him/her. As I don't know the exact year it takes place, can you tell me all the rulers who ruled over England from 1675-1725? Thanks in advance!

Answer 3

In 1675 Charles II (1660-1685 in England, 1649-1685 in Scotland) was on the throne (his title was King of England, France and Ireland, King of Scots). He was succeeded by his brother James II (1685-1688). He was succeeded by his daughter, Mary II (1689-1694), and Son-in-law, William III ((1689 -1702),  these two are commonly known as William and Mary. After Mary's death, William ruled alone, he was succeeded by his sister-in-law, Queen Anne(1702-1714). During her reign she became Queen of Great Britain in 1701(as opposed to England, Ireland and Scotland being mentioned separately).

She was succeeded by George I (1714-1727). His heir was Prince George who eventually became George II (1727-1760).
