Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain now has a queen-consort for the first time in overseventy years, whose role attracts considerable interest and political controversy. Attitudes towards thequeen-consort are deeply rooted in gendered perceptions about women's authority and right to power aswell as suspicions about the potential sexual influence wielded by a wife over her husband. Historically,queen-consorts have become focal points for public debate, criticism, and social, political and economicunrest. My project will revise our historical understanding of queen-consorts by examining the case studyof Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of King Charles I. My MA thesis, a comparative analysis of Henrietta Mariaand Marie Antoinette, determined that revolutionary ideology and enlightenment philosophy createdincreasingly misogynistic societal expectations for women, impacting on female agency. Exploring theexperiences of Henrietta Maria as queen-consort to an unpopular king, Henrietta Maria played strongpolitical and military roles in the British Civil Wars alongside noble contemporaries like MargaretCavendish and lady Mary Bankes, yet her significance in this respect has often been overlooked.Currently the two main studies on Henrietta Maria focused on a traditional biographical approach, (Bone,1972; Pearce, 2018) but they fail to contextualise Henrietta by placing her into the wider narrative ofearly modern revolution. More general studies, such as that of Hufton on female peasantry, contextualisewomen in the revolutionary period more successfully but usually focus only on the experiences of lowerto middle class people, ignoring the nobility such as Henrietta Maria (Hufton, 1971). My proposed thesiswill address this gap by:Bringing the experiences of Henrietta Maria to the forefront of Civil War historiography.Examining the roles of queen-consorts and the impact of revolutionary ideology on gender7 / 23expectations and women's societal functions.Establishing the political and administrative impact of Henrietta Maria's queenship, her military andpolitical strength throughout the Civil Wars, and determining the extent to which Parliament saw her as alegitimate threat.Evaluating to what extent Henrietta Maria's immense unpopularity was influenced by her roles asqueen-consort and shifts in contemporary gender expectations.To address these research questions, this interdisciplinary project will employ a range of methodologies.The source base consists largely of letters penned by the queen consort and will draw upon theepistolary approach set out by Daybell and Hobby. They have established a convincing framework forutilising the writing patterns, grammar, and format of letters from the period (Daybell, 2010; Hobby,1989). The other written sources; parliamentary papers, pamphlets and treaties, require a moretraditional, qualitative approach combined with a thorough understanding of the idiosyncrasies attachedto each genre. As space and patronage were key elements of Henrietta Maria's courtly display of power,an art/architectural history approach must also be employed. This will involve looking not only at floorplans of the royal palaces in which Henrietta Maria resided (the Louvre and Hampton Court) but also atthe fortifications she utilised in the civil war in order to better understand her role as a general.

伊丽莎白二世皇后二世之后，英国现在是七十年来首次拥有皇后区，其角色引起了极大的兴趣和政治争议。对皇后 - 科森特的态度深深植根于对妇女权威和权力权的性别看法，同样是对妻子对丈夫产生的潜在性影响的怀疑。从历史上看，皇后城市已成为公众辩论，批评以及社会，政治和经济诺斯特的重点。我的项目将通过检查亨利埃塔·玛丽亚（Queen Henrietta Maria）的案例研究来修改我们对皇后科的历史理解。对于女性，影响女性代理。亨利埃塔·玛丽亚（Henrietta Maria）探索亨利埃塔·玛丽亚（Henrietta Maria）的经验，成为不受欢迎的国王，在英国内战中扮演着强大的政治和军事角色，与玛格丽特·卡文迪什（Margaretcavendish）和玛丽·玛丽·班克斯（Lady Mary Bankes）等贵族同时代人一起，但她在这方面的意义经常被忽略。关于Henrietta Maria的主要研究集中在传统的传记方法上（Bone，1972; Pearce，2018），但他们无法通过将她置于更广泛的现代革命中，使亨利埃塔（Henrietta）将她置于更广泛的叙述中。更一般的研究，例如霍夫顿关于女性农民的研究，革命时期的情境犯罪者更成功，但通常只关注洛尔托中产阶级的经历，而无视诸如Henrietta Maria之类的贵族（Hufton，1971年）。我提出的论文将解决这一差距：将亨利埃塔·玛丽亚（Henrietta Maria）的经历置于内战史学的最前沿。调查皇后 - 科森特（Queen-Consorts）的作用以及革命意识形态对性别的影响7 /23言论和妇女社会功能。亨利埃塔·玛丽亚（Henrietta Maria）的王朝，她在整个内战中的军事和政治力量，并确定议会将她视为同盟威胁的程度。henrietta玛丽亚的巨大不受欢迎的范围在何种程度上受到了她的作用，并受到当代性别期望的角色和转变。为了解决这些研究问题，该跨学科项目将采用一系列方法论。来源基础主要由女王配偶写的信件组成，并将利用Daybell和Hobby所规定的thepistolary方法。他们已经建立了一个令人信服的框架，以实现此期间的写作模式，语法和字母的形式（Daybell，2010； Hobby，1989）。其他书面资料；议会论文，小册子和条约要求采用过多的定性方法以及对每种类型附加到每种类型的特质的透彻理解。由于太空和赞美是亨利埃塔·玛丽亚（Henrietta Maria）法庭展示权力的关键要素，因此还必须采用一种艺术/建筑历史方法。这将不仅涉及查看亨利埃塔·玛丽亚（Henrietta Maria）居住的皇宫的平面图（卢浮宫和汉普顿法院），而且还要考虑她在内战中使用的防御工事，以便更好地理解她作为将军的角色。
