Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France by Leonie Frieda

4.0

This was my first foray into any French history so it was slow going for me, and I zoned out a lot. Catherine is fascinating, and in parts where I could get a sense of her life and that of her neurodivergent sons, I was fascinated. Unfortunately, I am bored by history about war and about religion and Catherine’s time in power was marked by 8 wars of religion.
