Description

Explore the life of one of the most controversial figures in French history with Catherine de' Medici (1519-89). As the wife of one French king and the mother of three more, she played a central role during the final years of the Valois dynasty, which had ruled France since 1328. This biography examines her preeminent importance to the nation and the complex legacy she left behind. For centuries, Catherine has been the subject of a "Black Legend," a reputation that has made her a favorite subject for historical novelists like Alexandre Dumas. Whether you are interested in the real woman behind the tales of Reine Margot or her actual impact on the French monarchy, this book provides a historical perspective on her life. This Routledge publication offers a look at a woman who was once despised and remains a figure of intense historical debate.
