Henriette Anne of England, commonly called Henriette, born June 16, 1644. She is the youngest child of Charles I of England and Henrietta Maria de Bourbon.
His childhood was not the happiest: she was born in the midst of civil war. In a Protestant country, the queen, who is Catholic and that the king accepts everything, unleashed uprisings.
To avoid being taken prisoner or killed, Henrietta Maria to leave her husband to flee to France with little Henriette will be abandoned by his mother.
The princess was raised by his housekeeper and his brother Charles, who had to flee England too.
