  • Henrietta Maria was the youngest daughter of Henry IV of France and Marie de’ Medici. She became the Queen of England when she married Charles I in 1625. The young Queen had a difficult time adapting to life at the English Court, especially considering she didn’t share their religion. During her time there, Henrietta Maria leaned on her household and Ladies in waiting. She was witty and a 17th century fashion icon, which, by casualty, caused her to rack up quite a bit of debt. Henrietta Maria is forever remembered as one of England’s most sophisticated queens.

    I always find it so funny how the characteristics of queens that were villianized back in the day, would be the same characteristics that would make them quite likeable and relatable today.

      King Charles, this one, was described as "Swarthy" in Complexion. I just finished reading it.

    Thank you for this video! I'm glad people are making videos on Henrietta Maria (and the Stuarts in general) because she's such a fun historical character and personaly I love her :)

    I don't understand why Charles chose to marry her knowing that Parliament and the people would be against having, not only a French Queen, but a Catholic one at that.

    Hello Lavish History: Thank you for this video! I am doing my ancestry and it turns out I am a direct descendant to Henrietta Maria. Where can I find out more information about her I want to know more. Thank you so much!

    Someone's lying!!!! I just read that king Charles was of "Swarthy Complexion". His son, Charles the third, I think third, was described as "Swarthy" in Complexion, a contradiction of the paintings.

      It was either Charles the second or third that was described as Swarthy.

    Nicely done, but only left me wanting more; historically.
    What was the age difference? How many pregnancies & live births? How many of his consorts did she have to deal with? Did she have English tudors? Seven palaces? Did she live separate from the king? And more..

      As a Stuart history fan, I can answer these questions :)
      The age difference between Henrietta and Charles was 9 years.
      She had 9 pregnancies and 7 live births.
      Surprisingly, Charles had no lovers other than Henrietta which I find really sweet, so she didn't have to deal with any mistresses.
      I don't think she had English tutors.
      She had quite a lot of palaces, though I'm not sure exactly how many. Sorry.
      And she and the king lived together.
      Hope I helped
