William III, also known as William of Orange, was a significant figure in European history, known for his role in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. He was born in the Netherlands and became the sovereign of England, Scotland, and Ireland. His reign marked a pivotal shift in the balance of power in Europe, as he was a staunch opponent of the expansionist policies of France under Louis XIV.
