he was ordered away by Governor Harvey. His wife and retainers remained there during the winter. Going from there in the spring, it is supposed he explored the shores of Chesapeake Bay, and close that region for a settlement. In 1632, Lord Baltimore obtained a charter from Charles I. of the territory on the Chesapeake now forming the State of Maryland. What will you call the country? asked the King. Baltimore referred the matter to his Majesty. Then let us name it after the Queen (Henrietta Maria), said Charles, and call it Mariana. The expert courtier dissented, because that was the name of a Spanish historian who taught that the will of the people is higher than the law of tyrants. Still disposed to compliment the Queen, the King said, Let it be Terra Mariae--Mary's Land. And it was named Maryland. Before the great seal of England was affixed to the charter, Lord Baltimore died, April 15, 1632, and was succeeded by his son Cecil. Ii. Cecilius or Cecil Calvert, second L
Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Charles I. 1600- (search)
Charles I. 1600- King of England; second son of James I.; was born at Dunfermline, Scotland, Nov. 19, 1600. The death of his elder brother, Henry, in 1612, made him heir-apparent to the throne, which he ascended as King in 1625. He sought the hand of the infanta of Spain, but finally married (1625) Henrietta Maria, daughter of Henry IV. of France. She was a Roman Catholic, and had been procured for Charles by the infamous Duke of Buckingham, whose influence over the young King was disastrous to England and to the monarch himself. Charles was naturally a good man, but his education, especially concerning the doctrine of the divine right of kings and the sanctity of the royal prerogative, led to an outbreak in England which cost him his life. Civil war began in 1641, and ended with his execution at the beginning of 1649. His reign was at first succeeded by the rule of the Long Parliament, and then by Cromwell—halfmonarch, called the Protector. After various vicissitudes
Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), James ii., 1633-1671 (search)
James ii., 1633-1671 King of England; born in St. James's Palace, London, Oct. 14, 1633; son of Charles I. and Henrietta Maria. During the civil war, in which his father lost his head, James and his brother Gloucester and sister Elizabeth were under the guardianship of the Duke of Northumberland, and lived in the palace. When the overthrow of monarchy appeared inevitable, in 1648, he fled to the Netherlands, with his mother and family, and he was in Paris when Charles I. was beheaded. He entered the French service (1651), and then the Spanish (1655), and was treated with much consideration by the Spaniards. His brother ascended the British throne in 1660 as Charles ii., and the same year James married Anne Hyde, daughter of the Earl of Clarendon. She died in 1671, and two years afterwards, James married Maria Beatrice Eleanor, a princess of the House of Este, of Modena, twenty-five years younger than himself. While in exile James had become a Roman Catholic, but did not ac

in America. Failing in some of his projects, he applied for a charter for the domain between south and north Virginia, but before the matter was completed he died, and a patent was issued to his son Cecil Calvert, June 20, 1632 (see Baltimore, Lords), who inherited the title of his father. The province embraced in the grant had been partially explored by the first Lord Baltimore, and it is believed that the charter granted to Cecil was drawn by the hand of George Calvert. In honor of Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles I., it was called Terra Mariae-Mary's Land—hence Maryland. It was the most liberal grant yet made by a British sovereign, both in respect to the proprietor and the settlers. The government of the province was made independent of the crown, and equality in religious State seal of Maryland. and civil freedom was secured to every Christian sect excepting the Unitarians. This toleration promoted the growth of the colony, and persecuted people found a refuge there

one made the most of its dissoluteness, and the other of its decorum. The reproachful names applied derisively to the two parties became fixed distinctions. The word Roundhead was first used early in 1642, though whether it originated with Henrietta Maria or with David Hyde is disputed. And Charles, in his speech before the battle of Edgehill, in October of the same year, mentioned the name Cavalier as one bestowed in a reproachful sense, and one which our enemies have striven to make odiousin steeple-hats, behind them. Oxford was the stronghold of the Cavaliers, in these times, as that of the Puritans was London. The Court itself (though here we are anticipating a little) was transferred to the academic city. Thither came Henrietta Maria, with what the pamphleteers called her Rattleheaded Parliament of Ladies, the beautiful Duchess of Richmond, the merry Mrs. Kirke, and brave Kate D'Aubigny. In Merton College the Queen resided; at Oriel the Privy Council was held; at Chris

ld gladly have summoned in,--but fed and protected the banished princesses of England, when the court party had left those descendants of the Bourbons to die of cold and hunger in the palace of their ancestors. And we have the testimony of Henrietta Maria herself, the only person who had seen both revolutions near at hand, that the troubles in England never appeared so formidable in their early days, nor were the leaders of the revolutionary party so ardent or so united. The character of thes position she might very probably have held hers. Conde, being unable to marry her himself, on account of the continued existence of his invalid wife (which he sincerely regretted), had a fixed design of marrying her to the young King. Queen Henrietta Maria cordially greeted her. lamented more than ever her rejection of the bashful Charles II., and compared her to the original Maid of Orleans,--an ominous compliment from an English source. The royal army drew near; on July 1, 1652, Mademo
