CATHERINE DE' MEDICI
CATHERINE DE’ MEDICI
Catherine de Medici was an Italian noblewoman; her family was one of the richest in Europe. Her parents died when she was a baby so she was protected by nuns inside a convent. Her cousin was Pope Clement VII who brought her to Rome and arranged for her to be married to the dauphin of France.
She married the future King Henry II of France in 1533; the pope visited their bedchamber to make sure the couple, aged 14, had sex. Henry had a mistress, Diane de Poitiers who was 20-years older than himself who dominated him.
Catherine had nine children, three of her sons eventually became Kings. Her husband became king Henry II in 1547. He died in 1559 in a jousting accident, her son Francis II became king and his wife Mary, Queen of Scots became queen. He was ill and died after a year when Charles IX aged 10 became king, and Catherine became regent.
Catherine was behind the massacre of St Bartholomew’s Day in 1563, when Gaspard de Coligny was murdered as well as his followers. The massacre took place after her daughter Margareta married Henri de Bourbon (a protestant), which resulted in 25,000 people killed. Pope Gregory VIII had a medal made in her honour after this event.
De’ Medici was a patron of the arts and Nostradamus was one of the well-known figures at the French court.
Charles died in 1574 and her favourite son, Henry III became king. The royal family was at the chateau at Blois on the Loire in 1588, when he lured Henri duc de Guise to the chateau and had him killed. In the morning, he informed her and she became furious and was rightfully concerned that the victim’s supporters would take revenge.
In 1589, she died aged 69 from the pneumonia. Six month later her son was murdered by a Catholic fanatic. Margaretas husband became king Henry VI.

“Ode De La Paix”, right side. Started from the 16th Century "Tenture des Valois" tapestry series, three of which are currently on view @chateaufontainebleau. The series was probably commissioned by Catherine de Medicis, who can be seen in the foreground next to Henri de Navarre sporting a lavish “End Gun Violence” coat, which was actually worn by New York City Mayor Eric Adams during the 2022 Met Gala. The royal group looks on to two Ukrainian cavaliers with rocket launchers. On the ground, children toys abandoned after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster can be seen. Behind them, centaurs based on "The Dream of Poliphilus" parade in front of a destroyed Russian armored vehicle and a rhinoceros sculpture. The triumphal arch on the left was built based on a script developed by Ronsard to celebrate the 1571 entrance of Charles IX in Paris. Top right, the Kramatorsk railroad station, Ukraine, hit by a Russian missile on April 8, 2022. #valoistapestries #renaissance #tapestries #tapisseriedesvalois #catherinedemedicis #endgunviolence #odedelapaix #ronsardlere #oilpainting #fredericlere (at Trôo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeBp77VIR-n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Catherine de' Medici (Italian: Caterina de' Medici, [; 13 April 1519 – 5 January 1589) was a Florentine noblewoman born into the Medici family. She was Queen of France from 1547 to 1559 by marriage to King Henry II and the mother of French kings Francis II, Charles IX, and Henry III. The years during which her sons reigned have been called "the age of Catherine de' Medici" since she had extensive, if at times varying, influence in the political life of France. Via Wikipedia
#HERstory The nickname 'Serpent Queen' stems from the dark legend of Catherine de' Medici, which casts her as being manipulative, scheming and untrustworthy. These attacks against her reputation have been shared for centuries, as she and her sons were accused of being the catalysts for the French Wars of Religion. Via historyextra

La Fontaine Médicis
📍Jardin du Luxembourg

The Ladies ♔ Queen Consorts [23/25]
↳ Henrietta Maria of France (1609 -1669), Queen Consort from 1625 to 1649
Henrietta Maria was born on 25 November 1609 at the Palais du Louvre to Marie de' Medici and King Henry IV of France. As a child she was trained in riding, dancing, singing, and took part in the court plays. Although she had an education befitting a princess, Henrietta was not known for her academic skills. She was raised to be a devout Catholic and was greatly inspired by the Carmelites at the French court. By the age of thirteen, marriage plans were being discussed and about a year later, Henrietta met her future husband. The marriage took place by proxy at Notre Dame in Paris on 1 May 1625, a couple of months after Charles’ accession to the throne; Henrietta was aged fifteen and he was twenty-four. When the English coronation of her husband took place the next year, she was not crowned due to her being a Catholic. After a difficult beginning, she and Charles became dedicated to each other, creating an inseparable union filled with love. Henrietta was criticized for not fully immersing herself into English society for she did not speak the language before her marriage, and as late as the 1640s had difficulty writing or speaking in English. This, combined with her beliefs, made her out as ‘potentially dangerous’ to the society of the age, thus making her an unpopular consort. On 29 May 1630 Henrietta gave birth to the future Charles II, a year after having a premature labor. During the next fourteen years she gave birth seven more times. The queen had a passion for the arts, being patron of various activities and artists. She was enthusiastic about sculptures, garden design, painting collecting, and visual arts, performing in masques herself.
By 1644, the Civil War raged on and after giving birth to her last child, Henrietta decided to leave the country. On 9 July 1644, she wrote to Charles saying. “If I die, believe that you will lose a person who has never been other than entirely yours.” She had made it to France and was installed in apartments in the Louvre. The war was far from being over and continued for several more years, eventually coming to a close with the execution of her husband on 30 January 1649. “I have lost a King, a husband and a friend, whose loss I can never sufficiently mourn, and this separation must render the rest of my life an endless suffering.” Luckily most of her children were able to escape. Anne had died in childhood 1640. Elizabeth had been held prisoner and died shortly after being granted permission to leave in 1650. Her youngest daughter Henrietta, Charles, James and Henry all made it to safety. Henrietta found comfort in her faith while in exile, and she became devoted to her youngest daughter Henrietta. Following the restoration, Henrietta made a difficult return to England in October 1660. Her son Charles was now king, but she still ached the loss of her husband for when she realized that she was near the spot where he had died, she broke down crying. The happiness of the restoration was clouded by the death of her son Henry and her daughter Mary of smallpox. By 1669 Henrietta began to suffer from bronchitis and was bled repeatedly. The day before she died, she took laudanum mixed with the yolk of an egg on the advice of a doctor, but he quickly realized he had given her too much. She died in the early hours of 10 September without regaining consciousness. She was given a state funeral, and she was buried in the royal vault and the Basilica of St. Denis. Her heart was removed and taken to Chaillot in a silver casket.
