- The real life history of Catherine de' Medici, The Serpent Queen on Starz. The historical drama is sure to cover all the intrigue and betrayals of the French court in the 1500's but if you want to know the real history , watch this - Part 2 of 2 parts.
Catch Part 1: The Serpent Queen (Starz) - The TRUE History Of The Life Of Catherine de' Medici ► • The Serpent Queen Par...
For most of the first 40 years of her life, Catherine de' Medici, The Serpent Queen found her life directed by others, and once she was able to establish her own place and personal power, she fought to maintain it.
Although this description of her life may not be as intriguing as 'occultist' or 'Machiavellian schemer', it would seem to be more accurate and fitting better one of the greatest queens of France.
In the Starz historical drama called, The Serpent Queen, Catherine de' Medici, you are sure to find lots of royal intrigue and machinations and murder.
00:00 - Intro
00:51 - Henry II of France dies, King Francis II becomes King
03:05 - Charles IX becomes King of France
04:55 - The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre
10:12 - Henry III of France comes to power
11:21 - Henry of Navarre becomes Henry IV of France
Catherine's association with the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre has largely defined her legacy and given rise to such names as The Dark Queen, The Serpent Queen, The Witch Queen and more. History says that she engaged in constant scheming and intrigue, which the massacre is only the most notable example of.
Actually, though, her 'intrigues' were no more nefarious than any other monarch of the time and were more or less thrust upon her by circumstances as she did her best to manage in the interests of her sons, herself, and of France.
Thanks for watching!

Yes I just watched the first season. Can't wait for the second season❤
Thank you very much for a balanced, well-researched video. Catherine de' Medici was known as 'the Peacemaker' in France for 20 years! She tried *very* hard to unify the religious factions which nearly destroyed France, always with the purpose of protecting both her children and the French crown. Huguenots *and* Roman Catholics were intractable foes, so Catherine's attempts to maintain peace were ruined. Again, thank you for your insightful video.
And thank you for your comments. Yes, she has not been appreciated for just how astute a leader she was. History has much aligned her. Again, thank you for noting this.
Her life was never easy and never got easier. She did the best she could
I agree!
Great video! I think Catherine was a brilliant woman. A strategist, ruler and intellectual who did what she had to do. She was far ahead of her time
Thanks for joining the conversation!
A protective italian mother
She was also called the Italian Woman and Queen Jezabel. Jean Plaidy wrote 3 brilliant books about Catherine which I read about 40 years ago.
Thanks for the info. Glad you watched!
I used to love Jean Plaidy when I was teenager (about a million years ago) I think they started my fascination with history. Some of them don't hold up today but many of them are excellent imo
Thank you for your story of Cathrine DeMedici, both parts! I am new and subscribed. I also am watching the Serpent Queen but have the sense to know it is dramatized of course, so it is wonderful to learn as I watch the movie. It helps me somewhat. Lol
Cathibe reminds me of Empress Wu Zietian, do you have a video on her? It's hard for me to find much on her and being tech illiterate, I sadly rely on these videos.
Thank you for doing all you do to teach us, those like me who can't research deep enough for the true info but want to learn. God Bless and looking forward to going thru your Playlist. 🤗
Thanks so much. There are so many women in history that I would like to cover. It is unfortunate that I can't get to them all! Thanks for watching and subbing!
Always interesting how history can be more fascinating than fiction.
Very balanced and informative. I understand Catherine also played an important role in the development of French Cuisine and the arts especially ballet.
Yes she did. She really did a lot for a country that wasn't initially hers.
I am really enjoying your channel 😊 can't wait for more especially about french culture
More to come!
She was fierce and only played the male game of the crown better and that terrified the men of class then so she had more downstairs than any man she ever came into contact with and they way they treated her in death shows how she was more of a warrior than the men she governed and yes she turned heads every day because she took what was hers and ran with it
When you want something so badly you will do whatever it takes to get it and keep it
Excellent assessment. Thanks for your comments!
Thank you for putting her story out there
Everyone here needs to watch the 1990s French movie Queen Margot ‼️‼️💯 it’s history, violence, sex, great cinematography… The Medici family and their machinations …..
This was awesome. I don’t have Stars but I feel like I learned a lot from this video
Thanks so much. If you have Netflix I just did a video on The Empress that is streaming now.
Thank you for this!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
You're so welcome!
This is so good
Fantastic report!!! ❤
Thanks so much!
Good run down of the history. Appreciate your efforts and the videos that you do. I am subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
There is a great french movie about de St Bart´s day massacre, called "La Reine Margot" starring Isabelle Adjani as Margot de Valois and Virna Lisi as Catherin de Medici.
I don't think she was that bad lol. She did what she had to do to survive, have kids, have them survive , keep the power & etc. Because people at that time were a straight struggle. A group of people with no morals, no trust, didn't care about women and etc. She did her best and didn't want more because she never wanted the crown till she fell in love and had kids. She did what she had to do and men straight made her to be evil and survivalist. They just jealous they got out witted. So many historical women figure in doing better or worst for society yet some of society are so ungrateful to them and till now smh. She just had the balls to do something about it
Also have to look into the history of The Medicis in Italy. They were as if also founders of an important monetary policy. (Merchants that became a type of important and powerful Italian nobility, without really being considered to be), but also through very important amounts of property ownerships, that were with noble titles to them, and also including in the Catholic Church abilities to be Pope. Properties that had been nobles strongholds. That's why in the series she refers to herself as a "commoner" that goes so far as to be queen of France, of course through a royal marriage where her husband's family, wanted her enormously powerful dowry, especially in lands and gold. I think that her parents were just a younger couple in love, but carried everything with them of whom they were and what had, that was so hated and despised, obviously including because of how all and from whom all it was all acquired, it led to their premature deaths. The only way to save her, their heir, was hiding her in a convent with nuns, until a marriage was arranged by her Pope uncle.
Thank you for making history interesying
Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoyed the history lesson.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Be sure and catch part 1. Link above in the pinned comment.
Very interesting videos! You should read The Uppity Women series! I think you could find even more very interesting women who were deemed “uppity” for their time!
Thanks for the tip!
I personally love the Serpent Queen and her history
You missed the part about the Guise brother's niece being the Queen of France and Scots.
Can only cover so much...thanks for joining the conversation.
Also the Guise brothers were related to the Bourbons through their mother
Loved it thank you.
So glad!
Love her , strong woman
Love her strong woman
This foreign teenage bride came to power in the 16th century and RULED. She was a bad azz.
She was 😁. Thanks for joining the conversation!
One of my favorite female historical figures
A woman of Power! Glad you are here!
Your opening statement about the then Prince Charles and Princess Diana is so untrue. Yes, Charles spoke frequently to Camila on the phone but there was no affair. Diana was the first of the two to have an affair which Charles learned about from the late Queen. It was only afterwards that his relationship with Camila became more intense. So you can say Diana's behavior drove Charles into the arms of Camila. Diana liked playing the victim because it gave her something to hold over the Royal Family. Just like her youngest son is doing now.
I love Catherine!
She's a good Actress !!👍
Do Khutalun and also Sorghaghtani of Mongolia.
❤
I definitely think that Empress Dowager Xici would have appreciated her because she had her own share of rebellions and stuff. She might have told Catherine “take my advice. Promote a nephew if you’ve got one”
If you show me how i can do it. 😊
What happen to her other children
Only one of all her children outlived Catherine. It would take another video to go into it all (which I may get to do yet!) Thanks for asking!
She did what she had to do for France
So right!
By murdering innocent people simply because of their religion. Thousands of protestant men, women and children were slaughtered.
I thought Mary Queen of Scott's married Catherine's son Frances who then became King.???
That is correct.
Actually good history to hear this biography from a woman
Glad you appreciate it. Thanks!
I suggest you read Lady Colin Campbell’s book on the real Diana.
Dianna (you know Saint Dianna, that one) had about 16 lovers through her marriage to Charles. At least he stopped at 1. She was as needy and shallow as all get out but she played the Press like the pro she was.
I think I would have kept trying to reconcile things between the Catholics and Protestants. Let’s try a little perseverance, Cat
😎 peace is hard i would have done worst
Wow really lol
The series is ridiculous. Why these writers cannot manage to stick to the truth, follow basic rules of modern portrayals of historic events, is a mystery. Especially when the truth is just as interesting. The Tudors, The Spanish Princess and the White Princess are all factual disasters. Disclaimers should be posted at each episodes beginning so that kids studying history now and later, don’t get it all wrong.
Example being, Mary Stuart made the Scottish nobles and her half brother aware of her return before she arrived. She did request safe passage from Elizabeth who denied the request. Styling herself as Mary, Queen of France, Scotland and England will annoy the royal ass seated on the English throne. Also, Mary was not a religious zealot, no more so than the other Catholic monarchs fresh out of the Inquisition..
Thanks for joining the conversation!
Catherine died in bed and Mary Stuart died on a scaffold. That basically sums it all
There is so much to be said about these women in history. Especially since history had been largely interpreted from the male viewpoint so I don't really thing that sums it up; but whatever makes you happy in this life.
I can't stand Charles or Camilla. The monarchy died with Diana.
The Starz drama neuters every male character, underdeveloped them for the sake of developing the females (by the way the female characters are very nicely built and robust, that's a good thing.) But by underdeveloping the male you somehow devalue the ingenuity of the female. Thank you.
Yet for centuries, women have been represented as "underdeveloped" as you say. Not just in media but in real life and in history, academic and otherwise. I don't agree with your point, I am afraid. But thanks for joining the conversation.
For goodness sake, you’re all Christians, what would Jesus do? And I don’t think that it has anything to do the way Christians should. Every day I thank god he made me an atheist.
Thanks for joining the conversation.
Love her , strong woman
