She was also the mother of 9 children, including of Charles Calvert, the young heir to the title and future third Baron Baltimore, / Lord Baltimore, and Lord Proprietor of the Province of Maryland, before she died at the early age of 32–34 years.
She married Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore. A settlement arrangement for the union was made on 20 March 1627/28.[1][3] According to Gibbs, she is said to have been a most beautiful and accomplished woman.[1] The marriage coincided with the groom's father Sir George Calvert, first Lord Baltimore, (1578-1632) embarking on his first colonial endeavor in Avalon, located in Newfoundland (of future eastern Canada). Following the failure of the Avalon Colony, Cecil Calvert oversaw a second colonial enterprise in 1633, this time aimed at the Chesapeake Bay area, north of the colony of Virginia. The new colony was named "Maryland" after Henrietta Maria, the French-born consort of King Charles I. Anne Arundel County, Maryland was named after her.
Four of the couple's nine children survived to adulthood.[4]
