And then they start again. They always start again. There's always a mean way. That's one thing about Catherine, like her dark legend. And even you see it in the Serpent Queen by stars. It's like she's the one instigating those wars. She's not. There's no monarch. And mark my word here. It's not good for them to live in a realm where there's constant.

Vassy is in their territory in Lorraine. And on their way back to Joinville, they're going to see that the Huguenots are worshipping not outside of the town, but inside the town. And it's against the law. And they decide to kill all of them.

You're Dead to Me
Catherine de’ Medici: the real Serpent Queen of France

Yes. Again, I would just like to say that it's been also like it's a myth around Catherine. Well, they have Flying Squadron. So they're called the Flying Squadron. And there were noble women, between 80 and 300 noble women, well-born girls, who were there to basically flirt men to manipulate them for Catherine's interest. But let me just say, like, historians have debunked that myth.

Because it's important to say, because if Catherine had been that successful with so many women being able to flirt and obviously have sex with noblemen to get what she wanted, do you think she would have had such a hard time for the next 30 years? Probably not. That's one thing. But it is true. That is Isabelle de Limoy. She became Condé's mistress. And Condé is a Bourbon.

He's a Protestant. Yeah. It is true that there was like some inference from Catherine where she wanted to know what he had in mind, what he had planned. So she did seduce him to get information for Catherine and it worked. But I think from that real example, they just made it up that Catherine was just basically paying women to sleep with men to get information.
