@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 which is disgusting and disrespectful that man who this hoe killed told no lies but I wish the writers would've had him go in on Henry a bit more before they had her killed him bc it's nobody wasn't going to stand up for Catherine not even her older son 😒
Only the noble and royal women married young in northern Europe and that was because of family alliances sealed in marriage and you didn't always have unmarried people of opposite genders of coinvent ages. People also married their daughter younger when smallpox was a bigger problem because there are a fear they could catch it and even it they survived their hope of securing a good marriage (smallpox survivors were often scared, and it was though to cause infertility) would drop drastically. For people of lower and middling classes, where there are less politicizing of a marriage, the age of first marriage was in the 20s, early to mid twenties for women, mid to late 20s for men, average age gap was about 5 years. In America the period for lowest age of first marriage, was the 20th century post war period, about decade and a bit later the divorce rate peaked too.
Well, it wasn't much better for men of low class either... Also, as if women did not put each other down, it's not just ''men''. (I am a woman if anyone wants to say something snarky).
I do not like Diane- but Ludivine Sagnier is such an incredible actress she made me dislike Diane even more. Her portrayal of this character was raw, honest and believable. Definitely award-worthy, in my opinion.
It's about time they feature Catherine De Medici's story, I mean, the only portrayal I see of her are mostly as villains. They finally show her backstory for once, she's got one of the more dramatic-sad-triumphant life story- sure, it's rather dramatized, which ironically not that far off from the real life story...
In history, I may have hated Diane, but the way she spoke of her experiences must have traumatized her and become the woman she is today. After all, judging by the way she described her marriage bed, she must have been forced to marry a wealthy noble lord and she was a child that was forced to perform a woman's job. I think she wanted to escape that life when she met Henri. I don't know what gained his favor, but I do believe that she did love him at one point.
@@NadiaGirl1 Oh grow up. Did you seriously compare being called ''babe'' to horrors many women are still going through? Do you honestly equate being called ''babe'' to being someone's property? Do you know many women are still legally a property and they can't wear what they want, study what the want, marry who they want etcetera... Do you seriously compare your discomfort at being catcalled to their suffering??? Also, what is that childish thing about ''not needing a man'', why do you need to prove this to anyone? It's not about ''needing'' one anyway, and it doesn't make a person ''weak'' if they need a partner by their side, most of us do! Grow up, seriously, it's not about you!
Huh? Those who are treated as property are not ''ticked off'', they don't have the luxury to be ''ticked off'', don't speak for them. Mostly those ''ticked off'' women are ticked off by something way more trivial compared to suffering of oppressed women whom the former don't really care about. American pseudo-feminists who whine about ''oppression'' while living in freedom and comfort do not care about oppressed women in Iran or abused women in war zones. Grow up.
I love that Diane is presented as the historically appropriate age.
She will look like this in her 60's too I suppose...
@@ThePharaoho Yes.
Well, why wouldn't she be. The actress is barely 40, films are not just about youngsters anymore, so what's a big deal here?
@@nicoleackerman205 No, they aged her up.
@@ThePharaoho No, they aged her up.
I may not like Diane but she gives some good advice to Catherine during this episode
Of course, she doesn't want Catherine repudiated by the King for a younger more beautiful woman...
@@ThePharaoho Younger does not mean more beautiful. Diane just didn't want her status quo changed and she found she could have it with Catherine.

@@ThePharaohoLol Catharina was an ugly woman, even in her younger years, she didn't compare to the old Diane
To be a woman during this time... god bless those who raised higher then the men who put them down.

Big thumbs up to French actress Ludivine Sagnier, great performance as Diane!
Ludivine is feeling this scene!!! Amazing acting!!! Makes you think she is recalling such horrors..... Well done!

Shows like this, although factionalized does give an alternative to how we’ve been taught to look at women in history.
The acting is amazing
The cast is wonderful.

I think she loved anything that have her power and beauty. So yes, she probably loved him as much as she could, but, well...
Can we talk about how Diane is the only one with a french accent
Because the actress is really french, she also was at Lupin.
They all use there own voices. It was funny when the one guy was having a fit in court and had an American accent. I got really confused then.
I lived through this personally
This is why women are so ticked off these days 🙄 😒, some women are still treated like property 🙄
Right that’s why I get man when people call me babe I tell them I’m not your property. I tell people I don’t need a man

@@NadiaGirl1you sound incredibly fucking slow. That was dumbest comment I ever read
Las primas aconsejandose la una a la otra para compartir al hombre, que bonito!
That's actually an interesting way to look at it

The last Starz video to use the 2016 logo.
They ruined Diane to change the terrible Catharina, pathetic
I love seeing depictions of powerful women
