Thank God Catherine never took his advice. #TheSerpentQueen

#TheSerpentQueen #STARZ

“The Serpent Queen” tells the story of Catherine de Medici (Samantha Morton) who, against all odds, became one of the most powerful and longest-serving rulers in French history. Catherine’s tale unfolds through flashbacks as she defends her actions and imparts the lessons she’s learned to her new servant girl, Rahima (Sennia Nanua). At 14, the young, orphaned Catherine (Liv Hill) marries into the 16th-century French court. Despite her commoner status, her uncle Pope Clement (Charles Dance), has negotiated a large dowry and a geopolitical alliance in return for the union, and with it comes the expectation of many heirs. However, on her wedding night, Catherine learns that her new husband is in love with Diane de Poitiers (Ludivine Sagnier), a beautiful lady-in-waiting twice his age. With her future suddenly uncertain and with little hope of conceiving, Catherine must quickly learn who she can trust - both within her personal entourage of courtiers and the members of the royal court - while outmaneuvering anyone who underestimates her determination to survive at any cost.

The bit with the mother's hairbrush is pretty specific....LOL

[Savagery]

Charles Dance is the GOAT at playing schemers, plotters and Machiavellians.

[Blaklyon]

Charles dance casted as the pope was genius!

[kfludnr]

The way he drops those lines with a straight face oh my God

[dylanbratton]

This is just a deleted flashback of Tywin telling Cersei to marry Robert. Lol

[Isrjisoneavalable]

She did become what he wanted her to be, she became what the throne needed her to be

[NekoMarietess]

You couldn't take Westeros out of him 😂

[s-core]

One of the best shows to come out recently and it is CRIMINALLY under appreciated

[jessiestoss]

That advice was oddly specific, especially considering that he needed an abscess on his "exit" drained... 😂

[ΡαφαηλΚωνσταντοπουλος]

The fact that this advice comes from a pope is crazy and savage😂😂

[bravejelly]

He maybe old but he is still handsome, more than many men thirty or fourty years younger...

And in The Crown Charles Dance is an older version of Lord Mountbatten. He really has a thing for shady men.

[IamtheMan]

She did as he said, but she has moves ahead of the game

[LitWarrFFP]

in the words of Will Hunting, sounds like a real hoot

[paulpoumet]

One day Charles Dance will play a genuinely loving father figure. Yes this day might only happen in someone's dream or nightmare, or in a fanfiction, or in 132243213 years through an AI actor, but this day will happen.

You can tell that the dwarf womann and the magician care for Caterina.

I believe that Is charles dance. He played one of the nicest characters ever.
In APVS series that I can't remember the tight name of right now.The jewel in the crown. He was.
Like a breath of fresh air when he was introduced in about.I don't know the fifth episode or something like that and he was just wonderful and I almost everything he's done since he's been an s o b Horrible horrible people he has played. I have never been more heartbroken by the course Of someone's career in my life. He's a magnificent actor though.And i'm glad he's making a good living. But he was such a wonderful man and the jewel in the crowd.

It is good advice when she is going to a new country with a new court, family and husband.
