William and Mary.
I know that there have been plenty of queens CONSORTS in history whose husbands survived them. Most married queens regnant, however, seem to have become widows -- the most recent examples being Beatrix of the Netherlands, Margrethe II of Denmark, and Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
However, there have been exceptions: Isabel I of Castile, Maria II of Portugal, and Juliana of the Netherlands were all outlived by their husbands. Have there been additional examples?
