The Resume

    (February 6, 1665-August 1, 1714)
    Queen of England (1702-1714)
    Daughter of King James II

Why she might be annoying:

    She helped her sister and brother-in-law overthrow their father.
    She endured 18 pregnancies and ruined her health in the process.
    None of her children survived her; thirteen were stillborn, four died in infancy, and one died at the age of 11.
    During her reign, she was dominated by close friends and advisors.
    She signed her letters 'your poor unfortunate.'
    When she died, the throne passed to a distant German cousin, thus beginning the Hanover dynasty.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her marriage to Prince George of Denmark was a very happy one.
    She was the last English monarch to veto a law.
    Her reign saw the rising influence of Parliament and the evolution of a two-party system.
    She suffered from porphyria (a hereditary blood disease).
    The Queen Anne style of architecture and furniture is named in her honor.
