About the author
Very little biographical information about Henrietta Haynes could be confirmed from reliable online sources during this search. What is clear is that she wrote Henrietta Maria, a biography of Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, published in London by Methuen & Co. in 1912.
The book was issued with illustrations and later preserved by major public-domain and library collections, including Project Gutenberg, HathiTrust, and the Internet Archive. That continuing availability has helped keep Haynes’s work in circulation for modern readers interested in royal and British history.
Because dependable personal details about her life were not readily verified, it is safest to remember her through the book itself: a readable early-20th-century portrait of a controversial queen and the troubled world around the English Civil War.
