520    A dangerous experiment from the start, the marriage of 
       Charles I of England, a Protestant, and the fifteen-year-
       old French princess, a Catholic, was arranged for 
       political purposes, and it seemed a mismatch of 
       personalities. But against the odds, the reserved king and
       his naïvely vivacious bride fell passionately in love, and
       for ten years England enjoyed peace and prosperity. But 
       when Charles became involved in war with Puritan Scotland,
       popular hatred of Henrietta's Catholicism roused 
       Parliament to fury. As the opposition party embraced new 
       values of liberty and republicanism--the blueprint for the
       American War of Independence and the French Revolution--
       Charles's fears for his wife's safety drove him into a 
       civil war that would cost him his crown and his head. 
       Rejecting centuries of hostile historical tradition, 
       biographer Katie Whitaker uses a host of original sources 
       to create an intimate portrait of a remarkable marriage.
