Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Mary of Modena when Duchess of York NPG D19676

© National Portrait Gallery, London

published by Alexander Browne, after Sir Peter Lely

Roman Catholic Queen of James II and only daughter of Alfonso IV, Duke of Modena, Mary intended to enter a convent until her marriage with James (1673). She then dedicated herself to the conversion of England, but her support of her husband's pro-Catholic policies made her unpopular. The fear of a Catholic succession to the throne, caused by the birth of their son James Francis Edward in 1688, led to the invitation of William of Orange to England.
