On this day in royal history . 2 March 1619 . . Anne of Denmark died . 👑 Anne of Denmark was Queen consort of Scotland, England, & Ireland as the wife of James VI and I. . . ◼ By late 1617, Anne’s bouts of illness had become debilitating.  John Chamberlain recorded: “The Queen continues still ill disposed & though she would fain lay all her infirmities upon the gout yet most of her physicians fear a further inconvenience of an ill habit or disposition through her whole body.” In January 1619, royal physician Sir Theodore de Mayerne instructed Anne to saw wood to improve her blood flow, but the exertion served to make her worse. James visited Anne only three times during her last illness, though Prince Charles often slept in the adjoining bedroom at Hampton Court Palace & was at her bedside during her last hours, when she had lost her sight. With her until the end was her personal maid, Anna Roos, who had arrived with her from Denmark in 1590. . Queen Anne died aged 44 on 2 March 1619, of a dangerous form of dropsy. . ◼ Despite his neglect of Anne, James was emotionally affected by her death. He did not visit her during her dying days or attend her funeral, being himself sick, the symptoms, according to Sir Theodore de Mayerne, including “fainting, sighing, dread, incredible sadness …”. The inquest discovered Anne to be “much wasted within, specially her liver”. After a prolonged delay, she was buried in King Henry’s Chapel, Westminster Abbey, on 13 May 1619. The catafalque, designed by Maximilian Colt, placed over her grave was destroyed during the civil war. . 👑 James turned to verse to pay his respects; . ‘So did my Queen from hence her court remove . And left off earth to be enthroned above. . She’s changed, not dead, for sure no good prince dies, . But, as the sun, sets, only for to rise’. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1619 #AnneofDenmark #d2mar #QueenConsort #Queen #HouseofOldenburg #Royalty #HouseofStuart #Monarchy #EnglishMonarchy #BritishMonarchy #History #JamesVI&I #OTD #OnThisDay #RoyalHistory #RoyalFamily (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9P-LDDA8EO/?igshid=ud8lqvxrx885

The British World: The Stuarts 1603-1714. “How I came here, I know not—there’s no law for it, to make your King your prisoner.” (Charles I at his trial, 1649). Civil War and the Rule of Kings. The #tudordynasty died with #elizabethi in 1603. The old Queen had steadfastly refused to name her successor, but ancient logic of hereditary right pointed to one man: #jamesvi of #scotland , scion of the #houseofstuart , which had ruled Scotland for 232 years and would now rule #england🇬🇧 — with #wales , #ireland🇮🇪 and a growing overseas empire — until 1714. #unitedkingdom🇬🇧 #britishhistory ##theroyalfamily #worldhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXt6veLuRp/?igshid=xddtdzeuzkzt
