It is such a pity that nobody tells about the cultural revolution she has made at the French Court! She taught them to use cutlery, table cloth and her numerous cooks she has brought with her, taught the French about refined recipes! And these are only some examples! The French never liked her and the negative propaganda lasts until today!

breaks my heart. orphaned less than a month after birth. held hostage as a child, moved from convent to convent, death threats and s*xual a*sult threats as young girl. her husband ignoring her most of their marriage, fathering bastards and openly having affairs, having to beg at the feet of her father in law to let her stay at court, first 10 years of her marriage and not children. being hated by the french people, and mistreated by those at court, loosing 3 children as infants and outliving 8 of her 10 children.
yes her life is fascinating but, my gosh was it tragic absolutely breaks my heart for her.

Her fight for religious tolerance in a time of high emotional religiosity speaks volumes about her refined character and conscience.

She played the hand she had been dealt with sensitivity and skill. Looking at the slaughters that took place during her lifetime despite her attempts to keep the peace, I wonder how much more blood would have been spilt without har efforts. Her work was repeatedly undermined by men lacking her vision and understanding. This was a documentary that did her justice. Thank you.

Amazing history of an amazing woman, who lived long ahead of her time. Who also carried the intelligence and political ability of the Medici's.

What I love most about these biographies is that whether you agree or disagree with much that is presented, they are entirely fair, even-handed, well-researched, and quite factual. I love them. Another great job here.

This documentary was fair to Catherine De Medici and that is unusual. Well done. I did not know that Catherine tried so persistently to broker peace between the Catholics and the Huguenots. It’s a tragedy that she didn’t succeed. Maybe nobody could have succeeded.

She is a person who had a hard life and did her best for her children.

I'm now 89 years old, a Canadian and a descendant of Huguenots from my mother's side of the family. Apparently, they fled to England in 1573 and became English subjects, as did hundreds of others during that tumultuous period. I remember my great grandmother whom I met when I was 6 years old. That was in 1939. She was tiny with black piercing eyes and black hair. That's all I remember. She was a descendant of the Pussard family whose lineage was Huguenot. As for me, I was born in 1933 and am descended from Irish, Scots, English, French and Norwegian. A true Canadian!
This video shone a huge light on the events leading up to their migration to England. Thank you for that.

Catherine was a great woman of her time.
Just being able to survive is amazing and it took an extraordinary woman of rare talent to prevail and maintain power in the midst of so much turmoil.

Wow. The most dynamic single mother in history. Not discounting tremendous examples to date, but the level this lady took it to was beyond any other I've heard. Could only imagine what it took to survive. Thank you for sharing.

I believe that Catherine de Medici was a Survivor and as strong Woman could ever hope to be.Her Devotion to her husband and children are evident. I greatly admire her . May She Rest In Peace

ALL the Medicis of Florence are fascinating. The Boboli Park was donated by one of the Medicis to the people of Florence. They were once the richest people on earth at one time. Try visiting their palaces in Florence, you won't regret it. 😉

I am a descendant of the French Huguenots, and very proud of this heritage. Catherine tried to maintain some semblance of cooperation between the Catholics and the Huguenots, but alas people couldn’t be persuaded to deal with different religious dogma. Hindsight is 20/20.

This guy is my favorite narrator! His voice is so relaxing!

Such an extraordinary woman and a complex period. I studied her life as research for two novels I wrote about her and there were so many layers to this woman. Not a particularly pleasant character but vastly underrated as a diplomat and negotiator yet I think she is best judged by the period she lived in.
So much of her behaviour and actions are objective and whether or not she was the obsessed schemer who poisoned her enemies as was generally observed by many scholars we will never know for certain. Much was written about her before sources and documents were available to study her in greater depth. “The Serpent Queen” is ridiculous of course, historically speaking, but it’s good to have her name spoken of in any medium. You could study for a lifetime and never truly understand her, but it is that which makes her all the more enigmatic.

I see her story as a cautionary tale of how a moderate can slide into radicalism during times of factionalism.

Always happy to learn some history of my city. Regards from Florence, worldwide friends!
