More information about Maria de' Medici (1575-1642) on the German website
"The Queen expired at Cologne on the night of the 3rd of July, 1642. Her disorder was dropsy and ulceration of the legs ... Such had been the forlorn desolation of this great princess ... that during the early winter months of 1642, bread and fuel had absolutely failed her! 'Marie wearied all the world, and was herself in turn wearied to such degree that she sought throughout the universe for a resting-place, and found none. England, through the intrigues of Richelieu, rejected her; Spain, through dread of what she might betray, closed the portals of the Low Countries; Holland, daunted by the frown of Richelieu, declined to receive her. At length she repaired to Cologne, where she resided during nine months reduced to indigence, and compelled to use the wooden furniture and cupboards of her apartment for fuel, during the cold of that most rigorous season of 1642.' ... On her dying bed Marie forgave all her enemies, and Richelieu by name. ... Marie's bequests were numerous, as she left legacies to all her servants and officers. To Anne of Austria [ihrer Schwiegertochter] she bequeathed the diamond ring of her own betrothal to Henri Quatre. To her daughter Henrietta Queen of England, her fragment of the true cross, encircled by pearls and diamonds. The remains of the Queen were interred in the cathedral of Cologne; subsequently the coffin was exhumed during the regency of Anne of Austria, and transported to France, where it was placed in the royal mausoleum at St. Denis." (in: Martha Walker Freer: The Married Life of Anna of Austria, Queen of France, Mother of Louis XIV., and Don Sebastian, King of Portugal (Historical Studies), Volume 2, id., pp. 188-189).
