The '''Anglo–Dutch Union''', also known as the '''Williamite monarchy''' ([[Dutch language|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 [[Palatinate|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|Maurice II, Prince of Orange]].
