Queen Anne, the First Monarch of Great Britain.
The first of May, 1707. Queen Anne is in a big procession, making her way to the nearly finished St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate what she saw that as her greatest achievements, the creation of a new country, Great Britain.
Yet, Anne is one of England's least celebrated queens, often left out of the equation, almost as if she didn't exist.
Anne's been traditionally seen as this dowdy, ill, an invalid queen who presided over a very dull and boring court and was very much pushed around.
But nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact, Anne had already changed the world 15 years before she even became queen, because she may have caused the glorious revolution with her scheming letters to her sister Mary, the wife of the Protestant, Dutch William of Orange.

This is the story of the incredible Queen Anne, The forgotten Princess who started a revolution.
This is women in history with Magnus.
