Description
Henrietta Maria: A Life of Elegance and Devotion At the heart of the English Civil War stands the wife of Charles I, Henrietta Maria. She came to England in 1625 at just fifteen years old, already facing significant challenges from her French entourage and the forceful Duke of Buckingham. Despite these obstacles, she would go on to become a powerful figure in Parliament. Henrietta Maria's life was marked by brutal violence and turmoil, including the assassination of her father when she was just six months old and the Fronde civil war in France. Yet, despite these hardships, her spirit - and that of her family - prevailed. Her children would go on to sit on the throne of England, with two of them, Charles II and James II, following in their footsteps. This book tells the story of Henrietta Maria's life, a tale of elegance, courage, wit, energy and family devotion on a grand scale.
