Appearances
She gave Chenonceau to this queen, who was then going to lose, obviously, her husband, and is going to fight until the end to get recognition for her husband, because she really believed that, you know, he did what he did because of what was happening in France at the time, where the Guise is. She was not perfect. And Greg, on that, you are totally right to point it out.
To be in power, you have to be ruthless. But she was not this horrible woman who poisoned anyone to get power. She was not this woman who created, you know, all the wars of religion. When you look at French books, it's always like Catherine the Midget is full.
And I think it comes because of, honestly, xenophobia against Italians, unfortunately, that, you know, prevailed in the 17th and the 18th century, gravely. So it is quite important to remember Catherine as someone who truly loved her children, her grandchildren, who tried to do her best for France. And a family.
Thank you so much for having me. I had so much fun, honestly.
