William III: Bigot or Hero? Sometimes better known as William of Orange, King William III of England reigned from 1689 to 1702. The era lacked tabloids to track and report on the king's every move (those were hard times), but that hasn't stopped the BBC from presenting its own stylish and irreverent version. Did Billy marry his cousin? Was he left tragically alone as a boy? Delve in to the true-life stories of this celebrity monarch! His time as a valiant soldier, his Peace Treaty with Europe, and his green thumb are all documented here. Once again, the BBC demonstrates that even a man described as "short, asthmatic, stooped bad teeth and beaked nose" deserves the royal treatment every now and again. (in U.K. History)
