Sincere apologies for just dropping in and randomly asking questions, especially as the thread more generally has moved away from this specific moment in history! (And of course feel free to ignore this since it's not at all a military question!)
We covered the Civil Wars and Restoration pretty intensely at school but then skipped right through to Victoria, so my knowledge of this era is very patchy. I've always been curious about the relationship between Mary and James 'III'. Mary and Anne were James II's daughters from his first marriage so they would have been half-siblings, though separated by 20 years or more in age. Did they ever actually meet? Or have any kind of relationship prior to the various Jacobite uprisings?
