She was carried to France while an infant and reared by her mother in a convent at Chaillot. As she grew up she did not please the young king, Louis XIV., her cousin, and was consequently regarded with indifference by the rest of tfetu court. But when her brother Charles II. was restored to the throne of England, a marriage was arranged between her and the French king's only brother, Philip, duke of Orleans. She re- turned to France from England, whither she had accompanied her mother, and where she first displayed those powers of fascination for which she became celebrated. Her marriage took place on March 31, 1661, at the Palais Royal, and she at once became the delight of the French court. But the charms of madame, as she was called, produced no impression on her husband, and his coolness was changed into aversion after the attentions of the count de Guiche and of the king himself had become so marked as to attract notice. In 1670 the king induced her to visit her brother's court, and through her influence England was detached from the alliance with Holland and Sweden which had been formed in opposition to the in- terests of France. Shortly after her return she died suddenly in great suffering and in the be- lief that she had been poisoned. The discourse which Bossuet pronounced at her funeral was considered one of the noblest specimens of his eloquence. Her memoirs were written by Madame de La Fayette. HENRIETTA MARIA, queen of England, born in Paris, Nov. 25, 1609, died at Colombes, near that city, Sept. 10, 1669. She was the youngest child of Henry IV. of France by his second wife, Maria de' Medici, and on March 30, 1625, was married at Paris by proxy to Charles I., king of England, a few days after his accession to the throne. She soon secured the affection of her husband and acquired great influence over him, but became obnoxious to the English nation by her undisguised partiality for the Catholic faith. She was charged by the king's opponents with being the adviser of his arbi- trary policy and the enemy of English liberties. Her unpopularity was increased by her partici- pation in the strife between Charles and the parliament. In 1642 she went to Holland, and procured money and troops, which she under- took to bring to England. Notwithstanding a violent storm, which drove her fleet toward the continent, she landed her forces at Brid- lington, and joined her husband at Oxford. In 1644, a few days after being delivered of Hen- rietta Anna, her last child, at Exeter, she nar- rowly escaped being taken prisoner by Essex, and went to Falmouth, whence she sailed to France on board a Dutch ship. During her resi- dence in France she suffered from the effects of the hardships she had undergone, and although granted a pension by the French government
