Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper Perennial, 2006. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5x1x8. Reprint. Spine leans to the right, front cover creased, edge wear. 2006 Trade Paperback. xxiii, 2440 pp. The inspiration for the STARZ original series, The Serpent Queen, streaming now! Poisoner, besotted mother, despot, necromancer, engineer of a massacre: the dark legend of Catherine de Medici is centuries old. In this critically hailed biography, Leonie Frieda reclaims the story of this unjustly maligned queen of France to reveal a skilled ruler battling extraordinary political and personal odds. Based on comprehensive research including thousands of Catherine’s own letters, Frieda unfurls Catherine’s story from her troubled childhood in Florence to her tumultuous marriage to Henry II of France; her transformation of French culture to her reign as a queen who would use brutality to ensure her children’s royal birthright. Brilliantly executed, this enthralling biography goes beyond myth to paint a very human portrait of this remarkable figure.
