| Prince of Wales, the eldest son of James I (of England) and Anne of Denmark. Notable for the strict morality of his way of life, in marked contrast to his father, and known to support a vigorously Protestant and anti-Spanish foreign policy, he became the focus for the hopes of those at court with Puritan sympathies. His death, loudly rumoured to be a result of poison, brought nationwide regret, while the hopes of forward Protestants centred increasingly upon Henry's sister, Elizabeth, and her husband, Frederick V of the Palatinate. |
