I'm trying to work out what relation Harry Farnshawe was to King Charles I.
Also what relation Harry was to Angelica Farnshawe (prior to them marrying).
Can anyone enlighten me?

They were cousing, and also relatives of the Queen.
So related to the King by marriage.

Hmmm Haroom "Well there are Ents, and there are Ents."

Harry Farnshawe was Angelica Farnshawe cousin from my understanding when i watched the first episode of the devils whore, and they were related to Charles 1 some how through family. but also reading various bits on this Angelica is a fictional name but the character is real

hope this helps

Wait, so this "devil's whore" character was real? What's her real name then, if not Angelica Fanshawe, the fictional name?

Lady Katherine Ferrers. It's a well-known Hertfordshire legend. She certainly existed, though whether she actually was a highwaywoman is unproven.

It seems to be a 19C legend that got attached to Kate's name. I did some research on it with the intention of doing an article at one stage, but never got around to it.
