Mary had ... assumed that he would automatically become king... . She was astonished to learn that he would... become the Queen’s husband, unless she was prepared to... entrust him with the sovereign authority... . she told William that she had not realized the laws of England were so contrary to the laws of God. The husband, she said, should not be obedient to the wife; she promised him he should always bear rule;" Van der Kiste 2008, 2011 | |
