Loyal in Love: Henrietta Maria, Wife of Charles I (A Queens of England Novel) Reprint edition

The daughter of Henry IV of France, Princess Henrietta Maria, becomes a pawn in a political strategy to stabilize relations between two countries when her father marries her to Charles I of England. Sent abroad, she finds herself living in a Protestant country that views her own faithâ??Catholicismâ??with deep suspicion.

Yet her new husband is a man of principle and integrity, and Henrietta and Charles fall deeply in love. Henrietta is passionate about her faith, however, and soon politically powerful people, namely Oliver Cromwell and his Puritans, turn her loyalty to her religion into a focal point for civil war. As the royal couple watch the fall of Thomas Wentworth, first Earl of Strafford, the rise of Puritanism, and Englishmen fight Englishmen, they are undeterred in their dedication to each other and in their belief in the divine rights of king and queenâ??even as spies lurk in their very own household.

Loyal in Love offers an inside look at an unforgettable time in Englandâ??s history and at the life of a queen whose story of devotion and bravery has gone untold for too long.
