Summary

Catherine de Medici was a powerful figure in 16th century Europe, as the Queen consort of France from 1547 to 1559, and then as the Queen Mother from 1559 until her death in 1589. Her origin story is actually super scary. Starting as a really rich orphan whose life was constantly threatened, she was saved by her friends in high places (ie: The Pope). Then, after becoming queen of France, she was a great patron of the arts and culture, and helped to shape the cultural landscape of France during her lifetime. She was also an absolute force to be reckoned with who took no shit. She played a major role in the affairs of France, from her husband's succession to the throne in 1547 to her son's accession in 1589. From her marriage to King Henry II to her death, Catherine de Medici was a crucial figure in the history of Renaissance Europe, and her influence is still felt today.
