On This Day In Royal History . 25th November 1609 . 👑 Henrietta Maria of France was born. . ◾ Henrietta Maria of France was queen consort of England, Scotland, & Ireland as the wife of King Charles I. . ◾ She was mother of his two immediate successors, Charles II & James II. She was the fourth daughter of King Henry IV of France & his second wife Marie de’ Medici. . ◾ She was born at the Palais du Louvre on 25 November 1609. As daughter of the Bourbon king of France, she was a Fille de France and a member of the House of Bourbon. . ◾ She was the youngest sister of the future King Louis XIII of France. Her father was assassinated on 14 May 1610, in Paris, before she was a year old. . ◾ Henrietta Maria & Charles I of England were married on 13 June 1625, during a brief period in which England’s pro-Spanish policy was replaced by a pro-French policy. . ◾ Her Catholic religion made her unpopular in England, & also prohibited her from being crowned in an Anglican service; therefore she never had a coronation. She began to immerse herself in national affairs as civil war loomed on the horizon, & was compelled to seek refuge in France in 1644, following the birth of her youngest daughter, Henrietta, during the height of the First English Civil War. . ◾ The execution of King Charles in 1649 left her impoverished. She settled in Paris, & then returned to England after the Restoration of her eldest son, Charles (CharlesII), to the throne. . ◾ In 1665, she moved back to Paris, where she died four years later on 10 September 1669. . ◾ The North American Province of Maryland was named in her honour, and the name was carried over into the current US state of Maryland. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #TheYear1609 #HenriettaMariaofFrance #HenrietteMarie #HouseofBourbon #Royalty #Monarchy #HouseofStuart #CharlesI #QueenConsort #France #England #RoyalHistory #Instahistory #instaroyals #thecrown #thequeen #thequeen👑 #Onthisday #HistoricEngland #frenchroyalty #frenchmonarchy #Englishmonarchy #History #RoyaltyinArt #Art #otd #BritishMonarchy #D25Nov 📷 Royal Collection Trust/© Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2020 (at Palais du Louvre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBSobHjAwJ/?igshid=1l2tz21ew95ln
One of the most fascinating and controversial, yet great Englishman in history. I have admired him since high school, and even more so after watching the entertaining, yet historically-flawed film, “Cromwell”.

BookLife review of My Queen, My Love.
In the first of her Henrietta of France trilogy, Vidal (Marie-Antoinette, Daughter of the Caesars) paints a lush, passionate portrait of the life of Henriette-Marie, a seventeenth century French princess descended from the Bourbons and Medicis. Wed to King Charles I of England at the tender age of fifteen, Henriette is determined to bring Catholicism back to England, despite her Protestant husband and the country’s “hatred of Catholicism.” Often buffeted by political and social forces beyond her control, Henriette, known in England as Queen Mary, faces the challenges she encounters with the courage and resolve that she draws from her deep Catholic faith.
Firmly grounded in real historical events and settings, Vidal breathes life into Henriette’s era through extensive, evocative descriptions of its clothing, food, and palaces. This attention to detail offers a tantalizing immersion in this royal world, from the elaborately-costumed “masques” she and courtiers create to entertain the King at holiday celebrations to her beloved spaniel, Hebe. Vidal also illustrates the complexity of royal life through her careful elaboration of the complicated web of marriages, kinships, and associations. Some readers will be overwhelmed by the many branches of the royal family tree, but the text’s clear exposition and strong narrative arc offer clarity and guidance.
Vidal highlights the most important characters through her vivid depiction of their personalities and motivations. Antagonist George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham, creates a true sense of menace as he threatens Henriette and works to disempower her. Although she is pure and steadfast in her intentions, Henriette’s struggles to balance her devotion to her husband and to her faith will earn readers’ respect and sympathy, even if they do not share her allegiance to the Catholic church. Offering insight into the passions behind the protocols, My Queen, My Love infuses these historical figures with humanity.
Takeaway: Readers of historical fiction will appreciate the depth and nuance Vidal brings to this often overlooked historical figure.
