CATHERINE DE MEDICI: A BIOGRAPHY

By Leonie Frieda

Synopsis

Born to a leading Italian family, Catherine de Medici became one of the most important figures in European history. Married to Henri II of France, she also saw three of her sons wear the Crown of France. Unloved by her husband, and ever jealous of his mistress, Diane de Poitiers, this is a story of politics, passion, hatred and vengeance.
