The Anglo–Dutch Union, also known as the Williamite monarchy (Dutch: Willemse monarchie) after its only ruler, was a personal union that existed between 1692 and 1712 during the reign of William III as monarch of England, Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, the Rhenish Palatinate, and their respective colonial empires. After his death, the relationship between the British kingdoms and the Continental states was terminated. However, the Palatinate and the Netherlands remained in a delicate personal union until 1744 with the death of William III's second-born son, Maurice II, Prince of Orange.
