Wife of Charles I, Henrietta Maria supported him faithfully through The Civil War.
She helped primarily by raising funds in Europe. She remained in exile during Cromwell’s rule, but returned at the Restoration of her son, Charles II. She was a divisive figure in her own time, not least because of her Catholicism, and has had mixed reviews from historians ever since.
Join William for a special extended lecture as he explores both the private and public person that was Queen Henrietta Maria.
