HENRIETTA MARIA: CONSPIRATOR, WARRIOR, PHOENIX QUEEN

Biography - Historical to 1945

By Leanda de Lisle

Synopsis

A myth-busting biography of Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, which retells the dramatic story of the civil war from her perspective. Henrietta Maria is the most reviled consort to have worn the crown of Britain's Three Kingdoms. Condemned as that 'Popish brat of France', a 'notorious whore' and traitor, she remains in popular memory the wife who wore the breeches and turned her husband Catholic—so causing a civil war—and a cruel and bigoted mother.
