I was happy when the American publisher of the new biography of Henrietta Maria sent me a review copy, which I have gobbled up while scribbling in the margins and taking copious notes. Henrietta Maria: The Warrior Queen Who Divided a Nation builds on the research of many other biographers while adding details, particularly about the Queen's private life and spiritual life, not found in most other books. Henrietta Maria: The Warrior Queen joins Leanda's brilliant companion biography Charles I: The White King in presenting a balanced, non-judgmental view of  a husband and a wife caught in an unprecedented situation in which they fought their best to survive. What I enjoyed most about Leanda's Henrietta Maria is that the myth of the Queen being the "popish brat," whose irrational demands set three kingdoms on fire, is completely exploded. Henrietta Maria's resourcefulness, her courage, her unflinching faith and dedication to her husband and his country are shown repeatedly. I also liked that Henrietta Maria's mother and sisters, who are so often dismissed as simpletons, are depicted as being great queens and princesses as well.
