First sentence: On the afternoon of 10 January 1642, King Charles I left his Palace at Whitehall in London without warning, accompanied by his wife, Queen Henrietta Maria, his eldest son, the twelve-year-old heir to the throne, Charles, Prince of Wales, and his daughter Princess Mary (who had been married to William, Prince of Orange the previous year, but who, at barely ten, was too young permanently to join the household of her new Dutch husband).
