James I. of See also:Great See also:Britain and of See also:Anne of See also:Denmark, and was See also:born at See also:Falkland See also:Castle in Fifeshire in See also:August 1596. She was entrusted to the care of the See also:earl of See also:Linlithgow, and after the departure of the royal See also:family to See also:England, to the countess of See also:Kildare, subsequently residing with See also:Lord and See also:Lady See also:Harington at See also:Combe See also:Abbey in See also:Warwickshire. In See also:November 16o5 the See also:Gunpowder See also:Plot conspirators formed a See also:plan to seize her See also:person and proclaim her See also:queen after the See also:explosion, in consequence of which she was removed by Lord Harington to See also:Coventry. In i6o8 she appeared at See also:court, where her beauty soon attracted admiration and became the theme of the poets, her suitors including the dauphin, See also:Maurice, See also:prince of See also:Orange, .Gustavus See also:Adolphus, See also:- PHILIP

order to strengthen the See also:alliance with the See also:Protestant See also:powers in See also:Germany, and the See also:marriage took See also:place on the 14th of See also:February 1613 midst great rejoicing and festivities. The prince and princess entered See also:Heidelberg on the 17th of See also:June, and Elizabeth, by means of her See also:English See also:annuity, enjoyed five years of See also:pleasure and of extravagant gaiety to which the small See also:German court was totally unaccustomed. On the 26th of August 1618, Frederick, as a leading Protestant prince, was chosen king by the Bohemians, who deposed the See also:emperor See also:Ferdinand, then See also:archduke of See also:Styria. There is no See also:evidence to show that his See also:acceptance was instigated by the princess or that she had any See also:influence in her See also:husband's See also:political career. She accompanied Frederick to See also:Prague in See also:October 1619, and was crowned on the 7th of November. Here her unrestrainable high See also:spirits and levity gave great offence to the citizens. On the approach of misfortune, however, she showed great courage and fortitude.

The help sought from James came only in the shape of useless embassies and negotiations; the two Palatinates were soon occupied by the Spaniards and the See also:duke of See also:Bavaria; and the romantic See also:attachment and services of Duke See also:Christian of Bruns-See also:wick, of the 1st earl of See also:Craven, and of other chivalrous See also:young champions who were inspired by the beauty and See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

grace of the " Queen of See also:Hearts," as Elizabeth was now called, availed nothing. Her See also:residence was at Rhenen near Arnheim, where she received many English visitors and endeavoured to maintain her spirits and fortitude, with straitened means and in spite of frequent disappointments. The victories of Gustavus Adolphus secured no permanent See also:advantage, and his See also:death at Liitzen was followed by that of the elector at See also:Mainz on the 29th of November 1632. Subsequent attempts of the princess to reinstate her son in his dominions were unsuccessful, and it was not till the See also:peace of See also:Westphalia in 1648 that he regained a portion of them, the Rhenish See also:Palatinate.

Holland See also:grew more and more unsatisfactory. The See also:payment of her English annuity of f,12,000 ceased after the outbreak of the troubles with the See also:parliament; the death of See also:Charles I. in 1649 put an end to all hopes from that See also:quarter; and the See also:pension

Louis refused her a See also:home in his restored electorate. Nor did Charles II. at his restoration show any See also:desire to receive her in England. Parliament voted her £20,000 in 166o for the payment of her debts, but Elizabeth did not receive the See also:money, and on the 19th of May 1661 she left the Hague for England, in spite of the king's attempts to hinder her See also:journey, receiving no See also:official welcome on her arrival in See also:London and being lodged at Lord Craven's house in See also:Drury See also:Lane. Charles, however, subsequently granted her a pension and treated her with kindness. On the 8th of February 1662 she removed to See also:Leicester House in Leicester See also:Fields, and died shortly afterwards on the 13th of the same See also:month, being buried in See also:Westminster Abbey. Her beauty, grace and vivacity exercised a great See also:charm over her See also:con-temporaries, the See also:enthusiasm for her, however, being probably not merely See also:personal but one inspired also by her misfortunes and by the fact that these misfortunes were incurred in See also:defence of the Protestant cause; later, as the ancestress of the Protestant Hanoverian See also:dynasty, she obtained a conspicuous place in English See also:history.
