But what happened to the king's six surviving children is far less familiar. Casting new light on the heirs of the doomed king, acclaimed historian Linda Porter brings to life their personalities, legacies, and rivalries for the first time. As their family life was shattered by war, Elizabeth and Henry were used as pawns in the parliamentary campaign against their father; Mary, the Princess Royal, was whisked away to the Netherlands as the child bride of the Prince of Orange; Henriette, Anne's governess, escaped with the king's youngest child to France where she eventually married the cruel and flamboyant Philippe d'Orleans. When their "dark and ugly" brother Charles eventually succeeded his father to the English throne after fourteen years of wandering, he promptly enacted a vengeful punishment on those who had spurned his family, with his brother James firmly in his shadow. A tale of love and endurance, of battles and flight, of educations disrupted, the lonely death of a young princess and the wearisome experience of exile, Royal Renegades charts the fascinating story of the children of loving parents who could not protect them from the consequences of their own failings as monarchs and the forces of upheaval sweeping England."--Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Charles $b I, $c King of England, $d 1600-1649 $x Family. 600 00 $a Henrietta Maria, $c Queen, consort of Charles I, King of England, $d 1609-1669. 650 0 $a Princes $z Great Britain $x Biography. 650 0 $a Princesses $z Great Britain $x Biography. 650 0 $a Queens $z Great Britain $x Biography. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Biography. $x Biography. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Civil War, 1642-1649. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Charles I, 1625-1649. 941 $a 3 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012014034.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20181005010901.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20180418010156.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C57F094E42CD11E88CAF4C2997128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
