William III and Mary II ruled jointly as monarchs of England, Ireland, and Scotland from 1688 to 1694. Some key events of their joint rule included establishing the Bank of England in 1694, passing the Bill of Rights in 1689 which limited royal powers, and fighting the Nine Years' War with France from 1688 to 1697 to curb French ambitions in Europe. They worked to strengthen parliamentary rule and Protestant succession through laws like the Settlement Act of 1701.
