The Tragic Daughters of Charles I
Mary, Elizabeth & Henrietta Anne
by Sarah-Beth Watkins
Mary, Elizabeth and Henrietta Anne, the daughters of King Charles I and his queen, Henrietta Maria, would be brought up against the background of the English Civil War. Mary would marry William, Prince of Orange, and be sent to live in the Netherlands. Elizabeth would remain in England under Parliamentary control. Henrietta Anne would escape to France and be the darling of the French Court. Yet none of the Stuart princesses would live to reach thirty. The Tragic Daughters of Charles I is their story. Chronos Books presents the latest in a series of historical royal biographies by Sarah-Beth Watkins, author of Lady Katherine Knollys: The Unacknowledged Daughter of King Henry VIII
REVIEW
4 out of 5
Was anyone else completely unaware Charles I had daughters? Just me? History tends to gloss over those it deems unimportant, and I loved learning more about these women that had been shunted aside. Although not terribly in-depth this is a very informative and an enjoyable read.
