She was See also:born at Modena on the 5th of See also:October 1658. Her See also:education was strict, and her own wish was to be a See also:nun in a See also:convent of the See also:- ORDER

James, duke of See also:York, See also:heir-presumptive to the English See also:throne. The duke had become a Roman See also:Catholic, and it was a point of policy with the See also:French king to provide him with a Roman Catholic wife. See also:Mary See also:Beatrice of Este was chosen partly on the ground of her known religious zeal, but also because of her beauty. The See also:marriage was celebrated by See also:proxy on the 3oth of See also:September 1673. She reached See also:England in See also:November. In later See also:life she confessed that her first feelings towards her See also:husband could only be expressed by tears. In England the duchess, who was commonly spoken of as Madam See also:East, was supposed to .be an See also:agent of the See also:pope, who had indeed exerted himself to secure her consent. Her beauty and her See also:fine See also:manners secured her the respect of her See also:brother-in-See also:law, See also:Charles II., and she lived on See also:good terms with her husband's daughters by his first marriage, but she was always disliked by the nation. The See also:birth of her first son (who died in See also:infancy) on the 16th of See also:January 1675 was
regretted. During the Popish See also:Plot, to which her secretary Coleman was a victim, she went abroad with her husband. After her husband's See also:accession she suffered much domestic misery through his infidelity. Her See also:influence on him was unfortunate, for she was a strong supporter of the Jesuit party which was in favour of extreme See also:measures. Her second son, James See also:Francis See also:Edward, was born on the loth of See also:June (o.s.) 1688. The public refused to believe that the baby was Mary's See also:child, and declared that a See also:fraud had been perpetrated to secure a Roman Catholic heir. When the revolution had broken out she made the disastrous See also:mistake of consenting to See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape to France (Dec. ro, 1688) with her son. She urged her husband to follow her to France when it was his See also:manifest See also:interest to stay in England, and when he went to See also:Ireland she pressed incessantly for his return. Her daughter, Louisa Maria, was born at St Germain on the 28th of June 1692. When her husband died on the 6th of September 1701, she succeeded in inducing King Louis to recognize her son as king of England, an See also:act which precipitated the See also:war of the See also:Spanish See also:Succession. Queen Mary survived her husband for seventeen years and her daughter for two. She received a See also:pension of roo,000 crowns, which was largely spent in supporting Jacobite exiles. At the See also:close of her life she had some success in obtaining See also:payment of her See also:jointure. She lived at St Germain or at Chaillot, a religious See also:house of the Visitation. Her See also:death occurred on the 7th of May 1718, and is said by See also:Saint-See also:Simon to have been that of a saint.
