The.Serpent.Queen.S01E02
The series is adapted from Leonie Frieda's book *Catherine de' Medici*: The script was written by Justin Haythe, known for *Revolutionary Road*, and directed by Stacie Passon, who directed several episodes, including the premiere.
Catherine de' Medici was an Italian noblewoman and queen of France. She was the wife of King Henry II of the Valois dynasty and the mother of three future kings, significantly impacting 16th-century France. Initially seen as an unremarkable foreigner, Catherine, an orphan, married into the French court at 14. Despite bringing a sizable dowry and expecting to bear many children, she discovered her husband was in love with an older woman, her dowry was unpaid, and she was unable to conceive. Nonetheless, through her intelligence and determination, she successfully maintained her marriage and became exceptionally adept at navigating the core of monarchy, ruling France for 50 years.

Don’t forget the king loved his daughter in lawCatherine Medici, treated her like she was his heir, the only person in her entire life to treat her with respect and actually cared for her. And when he died, she went back to being treated like trash from everybody, even her husband and his mistress

[The_Golden_Imp]

The sad fact is if Henry's mistress hadn't told him to sleep with his wife they never would have had any children at all.

[Sun.Shine-]

She looks so gorgeous, she must act as young Queen Victoria at some point ❤️

[Auditioneere]

They had 10 kids, though only because Henry's mistress allowed it. I hate Diane and Henry so much in the show. Diane made Henry weak and ruined a relationship that could have easily blossomed without her around. Even Henry knew it, his dad knew it, his brother, everyone knew Catherine was an intelligent beautiful woman but Henry was a weak simp. 🙄

[StrangeFacinations]

The King's mistress told the queen she would help her get pregnant, then made her stinky. Lol.

[Rhaenarys]

To think...Henri was once betrothed to Mary Tudor for a short time. Wonder how that wouldve worked out.

[OHapybara]

Is that Colm Meaney I see? I loved him in Star Trek

[jaymesmorris]

Yeah he was "in love" with a woman older than 14 by about 20 years

"I have bad news: The temporal surge we detected was caused by an explosion of a microscopic singularity passing through this solar system. Somehow, the energy emitted by the singularity shifted the chroniton particles in our hull into a high state of temporal polarisation."

[EavenStarchilde]

Unfortunately, this is exactly how it was. So brutal.

[wildsquirrelswildsquirrel]

The first 7 yrs to nearly 10 yrs of marriage, Catherine de Medici couldn't conceive until the pregnancies started unabated until she went into menopause.
