William
and Mary began their marriage under duress. She was twelve years younger than he and found him repulsive. Although terribly
homesick while living in Holland, she eventually came to love both the man and his country.
William maintained
a long-lasting affair with Elizabeth Villiers, one of Mary's ladies-in-waiting, which prompted Mary to be completely devoted
and subservient to her husband. William's demeanor towards Mary seemed cold and indifferent on the surface, but his deep grief
over her death indicated just how much he relied upon and respected her.
