Montague in which Buckingham himself joined in. The masques contents (the desire for peaceful Anglo-French relations) were apparently so realistic that Henrietta Maria could identify key French people, such as her mother Marie de Medici . The Queen herself even commissioned her own pastoral masque designed by none other than Inigo Jones in which she and her ladies in waiting performed title The Shepard's Paradise. This masque's themes were about beauty and, one of her favourite topics, platonic love . The last court masque James ever saw was performed was in 1640, The Masque of Salmacida Spolia, right before the country slid into civil war and the King's execution, or what he and his followers liked to call regicide
