When Mary was invited to rule in 1688 she refused to do so without William by her side. They were the first and only couple to rule jointly, although Mary deferred to her husband except when he was abroad fighting. Mary was the more popular of the two, light-hearted and gentle. William was seen as cold and unapproachable.

So they also acquired the Earl of Nottingham鈥檚 house in Kensington, then west of London, to transform it from a mansion into a palace.</p> <p>Within weeks the architect Sir Christopher Wren was set to transform the house into a suitable royal residence. The new palace was furnished with a chapel, accommodation for courtiers, kitchens, stables, barracks, but above all, a series of grand rooms or State Apartments where the King and Queen could hold audiences and ceremonies of state.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section><section class="bg-slice bg-slice--palace-ken"> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="grid"> <div class="g-unit g-unit--12@s g-unit--12@m g-unit--8@l"> <div class="boxin bg-primary"> <h2>Death and Legacy</h2> <p>At the end of 1694, Queen Mary died of smallpox in her bedchamber at the palace and William was inconsolable.</p> <p>In Feb 1702, while riding his favourite horse Sorrell from Hampton Court, the animal stumbled and William fell badly, breaking his collar bone.聽 Against advice, the King travelled to Kensington Palace. After a few days of deteriorating health, he died.</p> <p>But the palace was built, and the Protestant kingdom secured, the twin legacies of William and Mary. Perhaps the finest moment of their reign was right at the beginning, when they signed the Bill of Rights after their Coronation in 1689.聽 This gave proper power to Parliament and began the process of creating parliamentary democracy that we know today in Britain.
