Henrietta I (Dutch: Henriëtte I; 1631-1692), known as Henrietta the Mediator, was the Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1667 to 1692. After the unexpected deaths of King Charles II in 1667 and her Catholic brother Prince James in 1660, she ascended the throne in 1667. Influenced by her husband William II of Orange, she pursued a pro-Dutch foreign policy, led the nation in the War of Devolution, and remained sympathetic to Catholics. After her death at age 61, her son William III took the throne and entered the Anglo-Dutch Union.
