Answer
Henrietta Maria, consort to King Charles I of England, was widely known as Mary. She was originally of French Catholic stock, but upon marrying Charles, she formally embraced Protestantism. Although popular at first, her Catholicism later became a source of conflict between her husband and the English Parliament, leading to her eventual exile from England.
