The Girlhood of Catherine De' Medici (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book is an evocative, thoughtfully researched study of Catherine de Medici's childhood. Born into the powerful Medici family in Florence in 1519, Catherine's life was shaped against a backdrop of religious wars and political intrigue in the Italian peninsula. Blending illuminating social and historical context with vivid storytelling, the author traces the moral and cultural milieu that influenced and informed Catherine's character, revealing the motivations and desires that fuelled her rise to power and set her on the path to infamy as a merciless, Machiavellian queen of France.
