Episode 12 - Part 1: Henrietta Maria, The Queen.

This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.

In this episode I speak to the excellent historian, writer and broadcaster, Leanda de Lisle about Queen Henrietta Maria. It is the first of a two-part episode.

Leanda sheds light on Henrietta's French heritage and childhood, along with:

• What was it about her that scandalised the Puritans?
• Should King Charles have listened to her more often?
• How did she aid the royalist war effort?
