Description

Henrietta Maria Conspirator, Warrior, Phoenix Queen by Leanda de Lisle A fresh perspective on one of history's most reviled consorts. This biography retells the story of the civil war from Henrietta Maria's point of view, unpicking myths to reveal a complex and multifaceted queen. From her early days as a bride who enjoyed annoying her husband to her later years as a leader in fashion, politics, and culture, Henrietta Maria emerges as a woman of surprising depth and influence. Her closest friends included people from different faiths and backgrounds, and she played a crucial role in the Thirty Years' War. This book offers a new understanding of this often-maligned queen, one who was both a mother and a leader, and whose legacy continues to be felt today. With its focus on Henrietta Maria's life and experiences, this biography provides a unique insight into the world of 17th-century Europe and the complex web of alliances and rivalries that shaped it.
