Whether she was right or wrong, good or bad, loved, hated or feared - this woman was made of some serious metal! This subscriber thanks you for your time and talents 👊
Upon the death of her 2 timing husband, Queen Catherine kicked his mistress to the curb😂 Diane dePoitiers was given Chateau de Chenonceau (Loire Valley)by her boyfriend King Henri and did she love that castle, even building a beautiful bridge going to the castle. After getting back the castle, the Queen Bee, turned that bridge into what is now known as the Grand Gallery and turned that castle into a party house even holding the first ever firework display to honor her son, the King. I think Catherine after 10 kids, had enough and took what was owed her. Thank you for all your great videos 👍
I do believe that the "Buckingham Palace," should be turned into a museum. No self respecting * cough true cough* royal would live there. Give it to the people! I don't want it! ~the Queen Moon
Catherine de Medici, like any strong woman of the day, got a raw deal. I think Henri IV de Bourbon respected Catherine more than her husband and three sons who followed him, combined.
Great post as always. I would like to know the relationship between Catherine and Mary Queen of Scots. There doesn’t seem to have a lot of info out there about it.
I’ve watched Reign like 5 times. I love it. But obviously they make them more attractive & added characters to make it more viewable. Same with The Tudors. We all know Henry the 8th was not that good looking 😜 Still good viewing though
Strong women in history are frequently given horrible nicknames like "The Serpent Queen" when if a man has been ruling in their place and carried out the same actions it would have just been normal. Just shows the rampant sexism of the age, however, there is still a double standard in today's society.
Catherine compared to Elizabeth I of England is interesting. Both were strong minded like men in those days. But the fact that Catherine was a mother of many children is kind of a mystery.
Here's thing,there are people who didn't like her and they would say bad things about her!its like what people were saying about Mary Tudor!she was one bad ass woman and I admired her and Mary Tudor!
She was a nice old Lady who had reillly lots of knowledge about the poisons of their time. She has used this knowledge more than President Putin and this means a lot.

I'm so glad I found this amazing channel. I knew nothing of this woman! What an amazing woman!
This is my 16th Great Grandmother. Interesting to learn more about her for sure.
How you know?
Hmm fancy that. I look like her. Sans die nase. My nose is more tiny, if you will.
Any strong woman was labeled a witch.
Great post as always. I would like to know the relationship between Catherine and Mary Queen of Scots. There doesn’t seem to have a lot of info out there about it.
There are complete books about it.
Hi there. Catherine "was mother in law, to Mary Queen of Scots." Through Mary's first marriage = its a fascinating point in history ✌️
Interesting. Certainly not like the depictions in "Reign", but then TV shows play games with the truth.
Did you watch the series 'the fibs of history' by Lucy Worsley? 👍
@@angr3819 No I haven't. Its worth watching?
@@itsjustme7487 It is. I think some episodes are on yt.
@@angr3819 Thanks Ang!

You watched one video about one woman and generalized it to all woman rulers. You have the mentality of a blonde
I’ve been watching a series about her on TV, I’m not sure how accurate it is, but it’s good.
Fascinating! I’m so glad this channel exists ❤ thank you
I find reading truthful, accurate historical nonfiction much more interesting than historical dramas. LOVE your channel, thank you! 👏
Thanks for this video. Very interesting!
I have been watching this on starzand I love it but I really love these also the true story tyfs hugs and prayers ❤
the French Culinary expertise was brought by Catherine Di Medici, she had brought good things as well to France.
Something went wrong: 1️⃣st, the video 📹 wouldn't play, only audio 🔉 . 2️⃣nd, the audio 🔉 stopped right after a commercial.

To be fair and according to Stars, Diane should have been first to have drank Catherine's Kool Aide
great video thankyou x

I haven't watched the video yet--only seen the title--but it seems redundant to me. I didn't know she had a light side!
Not very much of one
A lot of propaganda against her.
💖
Very Intelligent
Why is She called thé Serpent Queen?
She was a nice old Lady who had reillly lots of knowledge about the poisons of their time. She has used this knowledge more than President Putin and this means a lot.
Supposedly she had all those herbs and chemicals around in order to make perfume, not poison.
@@Orphen42O because of her knowledge she was able to heal the male part of her family and to educate the younger ones.
