Henrietta Maria, Charles Is queen, is the most reviled consort in British history. Condemned as the Popish brat of France and a notorious whore, she remains in popular memory the woman who turned the king Catholic - so causing a civil war - and a cruel and bigoted mother.Leanda de Lisle unpicks these myths to reveal a very different queen. We meet a new bride who enjoyed annoying her uptight husband, who was a passionate advocate for the female voice in public affairs and who, when civil war came, proved crucial to Charless campaign. The image of the Restoration queen as an irrelevant crone is replaced with Henrietta Maria as an influential phoenix queen. It is time to look again at this despised queen and judge if she is not in fact one of our most remarkable.
