Henrietta Maria

(1609-1669), Queen of Charles I

Sitter associated with 88 portraits
The youngest daughter of Henry IV of France and Marie de Medici, Henrietta Maria married Charles I in 1625. Her Catholicism alienated many of her English subjects. She gave strong, loving support to Charles I during his troubles, and practical assistance during the Civil War by personally bringing munitions from France, and pawning her jewellery to raise funds.
