Catalina de Médici: La reina serpiente: poder, arte y conspiraciones | Gabypedia | Gabypedia

Behind the gowns and palaces, Catherine de Medici was much more than the “witch queen” of legend. She ruled France amidst religious wars, court intrigues, and the prophecies of Nostradamus. In this episode of Gabypedia, we explore her complete story: – From Florentine orphan to Queen of France. – Her political marriage to Henry II and her rivalry with Diane de Poitiers. – The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre and her reputation as the “snake queen.” – Her artistic patronage and the origins of ballet. – The truth behind her relationship with astrologers and alchemists.
