I agree, my friend. I think she was quite wise but a few negligent. She seems to have been one of this persons who shows their true value only in danger and relaxed when things went easier.
I would like to know more curiosities of her inteme life, her relationships .
I think she was an intelligent woman just in the conflictive moments of the revolution. From being a funny, frivole woman, inmediately she became a good general, dealing with troops, an important support to the absent Charles from London. so she was wise leaving the country in the just moment, avoiding Cromwell ships which were an obstacle to gain France.
She saw bullets to fall very near. Intelligent too in conquering the love of Charles, for when she arrived, she didn't deserve his attention, being young charles engaged in an extrange platonic affaire with his close favorite Buckinham. She was patient, and she win. So that Charles arrived to love her really, and very much. Her marriage was succesfull. she was not an impressive beauty, but pretty and funny. That is another aspect i like in this personnage. She must have had a quite great sense of humour and been amusing woman. She enjoyed particularly the company of dwarfs. She had a lot. So I deduce she loved to laugh
