Myself, My Enemy // Loyal in Love

Told in the first person by each great queen, dramatized in that authentic, rich historical detail that is Jean Plaidy's trademark, each book tells the story of a queen whose life remains as fresh and important as yesterday.

HENRIETTA MARIA
The daughter of the renowned Henry IV of France, betrothed at an early age to England's Charles I, was a young woman enamored of pretty clothes, singing, and gossip. Yet upon her marriage, she was faced with maintaining the British-French alliance and urded by Rome to lead the staunchley Protestant English to her own Catholicism. Blindly devoted to her husband, impetuous in politics, Henrietta Maria's story is one of political crisis and domestic love in a turbulent period of history.
