Louis XIII., only consented to the See also:marriage on the See also:condition that the See also:English See also:Roman Catholics were relieved from the operation of the penal See also:laws. When therefore she set out for her new See also:home in See also:June 1625, she had already pledged the See also:husband to whom she had been married by See also:proxy on the 1st of May to a course of See also:action which was certain to bring unpopularity on him as well as upon herself.
That husband was now See also:- KING

king of England. The See also:early years of the married See also:life of Charles I. were most unhappy. He soon found an excuse for breaking his promise to relieve the English Catholics. His See also:young wife was deeply offended by treatment which she naturally regarded as unhandsome. The favourite See also:- BUCKINGHAM

Buckingham stirred the flames of his See also:master's discontent. Charles in vain strove to reduce her to tame submission. After the assassination of Buckingham in 1628 the barrier between the married pair was broken down, and the See also:bond of See also:affection which from that moment See also:united them was never loosened.

For some years Henrietta Maria's See also:chief interests See also:lay in her young See also:family, and in the amusements of a See also:gay and brilliant See also:court. She loved to be See also:present at dramatic entertainments, and her participation in the private rehearsals of the Shepherd's See also:Pastoral, written by her favourite See also:Walter Montague, probably See also:drew down upon her the See also:savage attack of See also:Prynne. With See also:political matters she hardly meddled as yet. Even her co-religionists -found little aid from her till the summer of 1637. She had then recently opened a See also:diplomatic communication with the see of See also:Rome. She appointed an See also:agent to reside at Rome, and a papal agent, a Scotsman named See also:George See also:Conn, accredited to her, was soon engaged in effecting conversions amongst the English gentry and See also:nobility. Henrietta Maria was well pleased to become a patroness of so See also:holy a See also:work, especially as she was not asked to take any See also:personal trouble in the See also:matter. See also:Protestant England took alarm at the proceedings of a queen who associated herself so closely with the doings of "the grim See also:wolf with privy paw."
When the Scottish troubles See also:broke out, she raised See also:money from her See also:fellow-Catholics to support the king's See also:army on the See also:borders in 1639. During the session of the See also:Short See also:Parliament in the spring of 164o, the queen urged the king to oppose himself to the See also:House of See also:Commons in See also:defence of the Catholics. When the See also:Long Parliament met, the Catholics were believed to be the authors and agents of every arbitrary See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme which was supposed to have entered into the plans of See also:Strafford or See also:Laud. Before the Long Parliament had sat for two months, the queen was urging upon the See also:pope the See also:duty of lending money to enable her to restore her husband's authority. She threw herself See also:heart and soul into the schemes for rescuing Strafford and coercing the parliament. The army See also:plot, the scheme for using See also:Scotland against England, and the See also:attempt upon the five members were the fruits of her political activity.
In the next See also:year the queen effected her passage to the See also:Continent. In See also:February 1643 she landed at See also:Burlington See also:Quay, placed herself at the See also:head of a force of See also:loyalists, and marched through England to join the king near See also:- OXFORD

Oxford. After little more than a year's See also:residence there, on the 3rd of See also:April 1644, she See also:left her husband,
to see his See also:face no more. Henrietta Maria found a See also:refuge in France. See also:Richelieu was dead, and See also:Anne of See also:Austria was compassionate. As long as her husband was alive the queen never ceased to encourage him to resistance.
During her See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile in France she had much to suffer. Her husband's See also:execution in 1649 was a terrible See also:blow. She brought up her youngest See also:child Henrietta in her own faith, but her efforts to induce her youngest son, the duke of Gloucester, to take the same course only produced discomfort in the exiled family. The See also:story of her marriage with her attached servant See also:Lord Jermyn needs more See also:confirmation than it has yet received to be accepted, but all the See also:information which has reached us of her relations with her children points to the estrangement which had grown up between them. When after the Restoration she returned to England, she found that she had no See also:place in the new See also:world. She received from parliament a See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O. Fr. greanter for creanter, popular Lat. creantare, for credentare, to entrust, Lat. credere, to believe, trust)

grant of £30,000 a year in See also:compensation for the loss of her See also:dower-lands, and the king added a similar sum as a See also:pension from himself. In See also:January 1661 she returned to France to be present at the marriage of her daughter Henrietta to the duke of Orleans. In See also:July 1662 she set out again for England, and took up her residence once more at See also:Somerset House. Her See also:health failed her, and on the 24th of June 1665, she departed in See also:search of bhe clearer See also:air of her native See also:country. She died on the 31st of See also:August 1666, at See also:Colombes, not far from See also:Paris.
