About the author
Henrietta Haynes is known for Henrietta Maria, a biography first published in 1912 about the French princess who became queen consort to Charles I of England. The book remains available through major public-domain and library collections, which is why her name still appears in historical catalogs today.
Very little biographical information about Haynes herself could be confirmed from reliable sources available here. Based on the records that were easy to verify, she appears to be one of those authors whose work has outlasted the details of her personal life.
That small mystery gives her book an added charm: the surviving record points less to celebrity than to a serious historical interest, with Haynes focusing her attention on a turbulent royal life rather than on herself.
