The Serpent Queen | An orphan girl becomes Renaissance Queen of France. 

How ridiculous. Women have always been smart and known how to survive.

Leider hatte ich solche ehe fast 40 jahre bis ich mich scheiden gelassen habe

I think her husband has been 'groomed' by Diana, yes, I used that term because it fit, based on their age and position then. And his past, as a hostage to Spain also cause him some issue imo, and back then, no one would even thought about 'counseling' LOL. I think he could've grown to care for Catherine however, his past, and the influence of others around him probably prevented that to become reality. Catherine is a great historical figure though, a very strong woman.

like the rest of the women Catherine was a gold digging 304...

A damm force of nature. Without her, her sons wouldn't last 3 seconds on the french throne.

@@laurainesacosta4631 true

I know the story of Catherine de Medici. She was a strong and kind woman. She invented cuisine. She taught a lot of good things but she was not kind to her children as most royal parents were though.

@@aanchal-annaleedeprince5525 that was sad that back then they were not kind to their children

I agree

Very well portrayed. The Narrator's pronunciation of French names withstanding! I didn't realize how much Diane de Poitier held sway over the King and her scheming was outrageous! No wonder Catherine had to be wary and be strong, manipulate events. I've never liked Catherine buy in this video she comes across as smart and very clever. She's the consumate politican. Wheras Diane I've had a fondness for butt in this video she is greedy, destructive and a damn nuisance. Excellent portrayal.

The portrayal of Diane is pure entertainment, The real Diane, was a elegant, and educated woman, also she was rich , the king was infatuated with her.

In my own life I'll be the next Virgin queen

Catherine de Medici was à horrible woman ! She absolutely abused her children ; ordered thé murder of people of the Court and instignated the massacre of St Barthélémy ! The streets of Paris were streaming with blood ! There is NO excuse for this witch !

Samantha Morton in the walking dead was creepy in the best way! Hopes she wins some awards for this !

My dear beloved. Jesus is about to come back,repent from your sin and believe in Jesus because He loves you so much that he died on the cross because of your sin to be forgiven and He's the only way to get to heaven.

What did you think of Samantha's performance in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?

​@@lisamarie15What did you think of Samantha's performance in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? And Minority Report?

Surely, there must be some good history books in France. 🤔

What are you talking about ? She's considered as one of the most important queen of French's history. Quand on étudie la Renaissance, avec François Ier, elle est considérée comme l'une des figures les plus influentes. Que ce soit politiquement ou culturellement. Je ne sais pas si tu n'as pas bien suivi en cours ou que ton professeur n'était pas tip top mais on l'étudie bien !

Henry was severely damaged during his childhood. Big question what kind of a king his brother would have made had he lived. Their father was captured by the Spanish at Pavia, and he exchanged himself for his two sons, sending them to Spain for his own release. They spent 3 years as prisoners of war. At first they were kept in tolerable conditions (wonder what is meant under “tolerable”) But spine after his return to court, their father refused the Treaty of Madrid, risking his sons lives. I can bet they both felt completely betrayed and abandoned. The level of trauma is hard to imagine. Charles V was so angry that their father couldn’t care less that their condition quickly deteriorated. They female relatives were trying to negotiate their release. When one of their grandmothers, Louise of Savoy finally saw them - they could barely speak French, we’re deeply depressed, totally defeated and very thin. Likely Francis (the son) there got sick with tuberculosis, which eventually killed him (after their release). And since Henry was so little when that ordeal began, this left a deep imprint on his personality and mental health until his death. If I remember correctly he turned 6 already in captivity. So, in real history, I am afraid Henry II of France was not an emotionally balanced person. He had nasty fears. And, of course, no one had worked through the entire trauma when he got back home, still a child. Imagine giving a person like this near absolute power?

​@@milanamughalThanks for the backstory. I've wanted to drown them in their weakness all my life

I think it was mainly the reversal of the roles. He was used to and comfortable with having a partner who took care of absolutely everything and he never had to think or exert effort to get complete fulfillment. His inexperienced wife required him to take charge, which he didn't feel like figuring out how to do. Oh, and when they're examined by the doctor, the doctor says they have some shape/fit issues, and should only have sex in a certain position.

Bad writing...

@@blatherskitenoir he had a medical problem and had to have an operation...fact, after that he was ok and had sex with everyone

🙄 based on tv series

In den hwus herrschte eifersucht gier und mord

I agree. My mother is disgusted by double chins, She doesn't want me to be seen by everyone because she thinks that it makes a woman ugly and not pretty.

@@taylorherrick5024 your mother is a disgusting person. A mother's love should be unconditional. I hope you can someday escape her and know your worth.

​@taylorherrick5024 your mother isn't very kind.

Double chin is sign for people having higher chances of marrying two times, first marriage wiil fail either by divorce or by death, so she/he needs to marry.

History so exciting French 💕😘🙏

Plutus

She wasn't all good and she was a badass too.

Only one season?

Brilliantly a lot of tripe

Watching it now!🤣😂

What is the name of the series?

​@@kaybrown2201 The Serpent Queen on Netflix. The history is completely wrong, but the series is very entertaining. The lead actress is phenomenal.

It's a computer voice. Use a real narrator please!

because AI robot narration sucks!

Catherine was not of low extraction. She was the daughter of the duchess of the Tour d'Auvergne and grand daughter of Jeanne of Bourbon , a royal Princess.

I apologise. I will be careful in future in stating that Catherine's predigree was in fact of noble descent. I commend your insight!

True

Truly horrible 😂

Too loud.

No music would be much much better!

​@decimusvitaeHe was a nasty cheat with that Diane wh*re. Good riddance.

Karma

Incorrect. Mary was executed in Scotland.

Agreed. Music is too loud too

They were evil. Cheats. He was dumb enough to get himself unalived. She contributed nothing in her life except use her position to get money & such.

@decimusvitaeby the time of Catherine the medicis had mostly noble blood anyway.

Mary Tudor was married to King Louis XII of France for a very short time. Married from 1514 till the Kings death 1515. She was his third wife and around 18 when she married the 52 year old King. Mary, Queen of Scots was married with 14 to Francis II (who was also King of Scotland) as well 14 in the year 1558. She was widowed in 1560 and remarried a distant cousin. Bartholomew day/night massacre happend during the French Wars of Religion in 1572. The Kings (Charles IX) sister Margaret a catholic married King Henry III of Navarre a protestant on Aug. 18. 1572 and the Massacre started a few days later. Many believed King Charles IX mother Catherine de'Medici (Queen of France 1547 to 1559) was involved, but it was never proved. None of the Mary's you mentioned had something to do with the massacre.

They have the right Mary.

There are three named Mary. Mary Stuart and two Mary Tudors. The first Mary Tudor was the sister of King Henry VIII. She married the King of France (an old man at the time, she was his third wife). He died. She was free then... She married Charles Brandon for her second marriage and became a duchess. She enraged Henry VIII (her brother) by marrying (the second time) below her station in life. Her niece was named Mary Tudor, too. The 2nd Mary Tudor was Bloody Mary. She was the Queen of England, older half-sister to Elizabeth I and 1st daughter to Henry VIII, her aunt was named Mary Tudor. Her mother was Catherine of Aragon. Mary was the one killing Protestants in England (Bloody Mary) and was the Queen of Spain due to her marriage before she died. She died then Elizabeth I became the Queen of England. Mary, Queen of Scots (married to Catherine de Medici's son, also she was the Queen of France for a little bit) was executed later in life by Elizabeth I of England and the same Elizabeth I took this Mary's son as her heir... since Mary Stuart was a cousin through Henry VIII's sister... Henry VIII's other sister was named Margaret Tudor. Mary Tudor and Margaret Tudor were sisters who had a niece named Mary Tudor through their brother, Henry VIII. Mary Stuart's son and heir was James VI of Scotland and later became James I of England. Scotland and England were united under one ruler due to Elizabeth I not marrying and having children. Mary Tudor, *Princess of England, Queen of France, Duchess of Suffolk Mary Tudor, Princess of England, *Queen of England, Queen of Spain Mary Stuart, Princess of Scotland, *Queen of Scotland, Queen of France

Agree! She was in reality skinny not chubby.

It's probably hard to find a skinny actress who still has a plump face that looks historically accurate to the paintings of the real life historical figure

Well good thing they did not expect their actors to starve themselves...

Thank u for that 😊

Terrible voiceover…spoils the good information.

Just goes to show you that this kind of thing has been going on for centuries. The fact that everyone acts so surprised like Charles is the first Prince (at the time) to have a mistress is shocking at how ignorant people are of history. Let’s be honest, too… as shallow as society as far as good looks are concerned, no one would’ve given a damn had Camilla been better looking than Diana. But since Diana was the much better looking woman (and people think in terms of fairy tales), they instantly hated Charles and Camilla. Diana brilliantly knew how to get the public on her side, too. I tend to think the opposite of everyone else, too. Everyone loves Person A, so I favor Person B.

The narrator is a TTS program, not a real person.

@@retalus Needs reprogramming😉

Yeah she is a solid 4 😂

You realize that actors and real history character are not the same ?

Just like how people can admire powerful men despite their evilness

Necropathy is a medical condition consisting of tissue death. Gangrene
