Notes |
- Niece of Pope Leo X. At the age of fourteen she would become dauphine of France and later the queen of France.
Catherine has been largely reviled by history. As a foreign women wielding the power behind the throne of France during one of the worst times in its history, it probably could not be otherwise. She has been largely blamed as the mastermind of Admiral Coligny's murder and the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre (surely Jehan du Lac believes it), but her role is hard to know for absolutely certain. She did bring many aspects of Italian culture to France, including the Commedia dell'Arte, ballet, fine cooking and table manners, and Italian bankers. Her political maneuvering, while not winning her any great popularity, kept the throne of France intact for 30 years, long enough for the Bourbons to inherit it. Her life-long rival, Henri IV, paid her this tribute after his victory was complete and his throne secure: "What could the poor woman do with five little children on her arms, after the death of her husband, and two families in France, ours and the Guises, attempting to encroach on the Crown? Was she not forced to play strange parts to deceive the one and the other and yet, as she did, to protect her children, who reigned in succession by the wisdom of a woman so able? I wonder that she did not do worse!"
--c. t. iannuzzo
********************************************
Mother of the three last Valois: Francis II would not have time to reign; Charles IX would hardly do: the Regent Queen was to try to save the throne for her favourite son - Henri III. However the civil war broke out in the country, which had so far been spared. Led by daring men (the Guise, Bourbons, Conde, Coligny) Catholics and Protestants confronted each other in battle. This period represented one long continual massacre, broken up by truces and passing reconciliations ... However the queen mother organised feasts at Chenonceau to celebrate the marriage between Francis II and the beautiful Mary Stuart. During the eighteen months of his reign the young king had only a few days of happiness...
The court festivities were a strange contrast to the intolerance and violence between the two parties. The murders which increased each day did away with emotion and sensitivity. The dagger and poison became part of everyday life. In order to be informed about conspiracies and plots, Catherine used the services of her maids of honour. This was "the flying squadron": beautiful spies, docile servants to her politique.
