Henrietta Gordon
Henrietta Gordon (born c. 1628; ''floruit'' 1658) was a Scottish-born courtier, a maid of honour to Princess Henrietta, youngest daughter of Charles I of England.
==Early life==
Henrietta Gordon, called "Lady Henrietta", was the only daughter of John Gordon, created Viscount of Melgum and Lord Aboyne in 1627, by Sophia, fifth daughter of Francis Hay, 9th Earl of Erroll. She was born about 1628. Her father was the second son of George Gordon, 1st Marquis of Huntly, by his wife, the former Lady Henrietta Stewart, eldest daughter of the first Duke of Lennox. He was burned to death in his house at Frendraught in October 1630; and, his widow dying on 22 March 1642, Henrietta was left an orphan.
She had been brought up a Roman Catholic, and, her uncle and guardian George Gordon, 2nd Marquis of Huntly, being a Protestant, her mother on her deathbed commended her to the care of her father confessor, Gilbert Blackhall, who then shortly went to Paris in the hope of obtaining instructions from Henrietta's grandmother, the Dowager Marquise of Huntly (also Henrietta, ''née'' Stewart of Lennox). The marquise, however, pleading poverty, took no step to have the child brought to Paris, as Blackhall thought she should be; and so he applied to Anne of Austria, and obtained from her a letter, under the joint sign-manual of herself and the king, praying the Marquis of Huntly, who had assumed the guardianship of Henrietta (with the intention of having her educated in the Protestant faith), to permit Blackhall to escort her to France. Blackhall therefore went to Scotland, and, after delays, obtained the charge of Henrietta, and took ship with her from Aberdeen on 26 July 1643.
In Paris, Henrietta was presented to the queen by her second cousin, Ludovic, fifth son of Esmé Stewart, 3rd Duke of Lennox (better known as Monsieur d'Aubigny), and was sent to the convent of the Filles de Ste. Marie, Rue St. Antoine, to learn French. After remaining there a year she was placed under the charge of Madame de Brienne, who found it more convenient to send her to the convent of Charonne, where she objected to the rule and ways of the mother superior, and meagre diet of the convent. Blackhall accordingly induced the queen to have her removed to the convent of St. Nicolas de Lorraine, where she remained from 8 January to 10 August 1647, when she was transferred to that of Fervacques in the Faubourg St. Germain. Here she resided till 20 January 1649, when, the ''Fronde'' having raised an insurrection in the streets of Paris, she was by the queen's orders brought to St. Germain-en-Laye under the escort of Monsieur d'Aubigny.
