William III (4 November 1650 – 8 March 1702), also known as William of Orange, was King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1689 until his death in 1702. Born in The Hague in the Dutch Republic, he was the son of William II of Orange and Mary, Princess Royal of England. A staunch Protestant, William played a key role in European politics during the late 17th century, particularly in resisting the expansion of Catholic France under Louis XIV.
