About this ebook
Catherine de' Medici, the Italian-born queen and regent of France, played a pivotal role in shaping European history during the turbulent 16th century. Born in 1519 in Florence, Catherine married Henry II of France and navigated a complex political landscape through diplomacy and intrigue. This biography explores her influence during the Wars of Religion, her role as a mother to three kings, and her reputation as a cunning political strategist. Often misunderstood, Catherine was a patron of the arts and a key figure in the French Renaissance. This book provides a balanced view of her life, her challenges, and her enduring legacy as one of France’s most influential and controversial queens.
