Book Description
Catherine de Medici, the fabulous poisoner, changed the history of France with her evil schemes. She was determined to keep her sons on the throne, and no deed was too dark, no plot too vicious for her talents.
Catherine, the Queen Mother, is shown here, as the arch-politician of the decadent French court. Her love for her son Henry borded on idolatry and her other children were terified of her. It was rumored that her powers were supernatural, that she was in league with the devil.
No expense was too great, no pleasure too bizarre for the licentious Court of Catherine's day. There was tragic Jeanne of Navarre, weak Antoinne de Bourbon, ambitious Henry de Guise, and wanton Margot, and among them all, Catherine crept along her unholy way.
