Though seldom spoken of, Anne was an impactful queen as the Stuart monarch. Her reign oversaw the unification of England and Scotland and the end of the War of the Spanish Succession. Many spoke of her with sharp tongues, critiquing her for superficial things, such as her weight. However, she was an effective queen; moderate, levelheaded, and kind. She unfortunately was an ill woman, but sadly outlived all her children. Described to be shy, yet assertive and direct when needed.
