Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marguerite de Valois was the last of her line. Margot, used as a political weapon during her youth, by her own family, was turned into another one following her death. Pamphleteers and propagandists for the new Bourbon dynasty of Margot's husband, King Henri IV of Navarre, and then of France in 1589, sought to portray Queen Marguerite as a loose woman, a sexual libertine, to discredit the Valois line. This type of attack has always been used against women of political power, and of course it became the stuff of legend and common stereotype until about the time of Merki's volume. This author traces Margot as a political role player amidst a violent era and its clannish peculiarities, especially her entanglement with the fanatical religious element, always in the picture.Merki organized the story into three sections: 1.) era of the Valois in the 16th century: Catherine de Medici; Court life, and morals; youth of Marguerite; Protestants; negotiations for marriage; union with Henri de Navarre; marriage of Marguerite; St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre; Conspiracy of the Politiques; death of Charles IX; troubled relations with Henri III; 2.) Margot as Queen of Navarre: quarrels of the mignons; escape of the Duke of Anjou; the Flanders Expedition; War of the Lovers; rebellious Margot; she declares for League; refuge in Auvergne; prisoner of the Château d'Usson; 3.) final years: accession of Henri IV; negotiation with Margot and Divorce of 1599; Conspiracy of Auvergne; Margot leaves Usson for Paris; Margot builds the Hôtel des Augustins; Regency of Marie de Medici.This is the first and only translation of Merki into English. Every effort has been made to convey the spirit of the writing style of Merki while making it accessible to a modern English speaking audience. F.H. Wallis Translation continues to seek out and publish older works of the highest scholarship on the history of France.

This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enthralling biography of the remarkable queen, Marguerite of Valois, and the tumultuous decades of the French Wars of Religion. The ideal book for fans of Tracy Borman, Antonia Fraser and Nancy Goldstone. Daughter, sister and wife of kings, Marguerite was famed as the most beautiful woman in France, enchanting courts with her wit, charm, and profound intelligence. Yet, for all her brilliance, Marguerite could not escape the political intrigues and religious unrest that enveloped France in the sixteenth century as Catholics and Protestant Huguenots fought for control of the throne. At the age of nineteen in 1572, Marguerite was married to the Protestant King of Navarre, Henri, with the hope that this would unify the competing factions and end the religious conflict. Six days later, however, Catholics massacred Protestant Huguenots who had gathered in Paris for their wedding in what has infamously known as the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. E.R. Chamberlin uncovers the turbulent life of this fascinating queen as civil strife deteriorated in the nation and her marriage broke down after years of being unable to produce an heir leading to her eventual exile. Drawing upon Marguerite's own remarkable Memoirs and numerous other sources, Chamberlin's well-researched book overcomes the myths depicting her as a scarlet woman, and instead reevaluates the life of this magnificent queen and the tragic period through which she lived. "adept at clarifying political tangles ... [Chamberlin] follows Marguerite's career through marriage (unhappy), exile and alliance with brother Hercule, travels, divorce and final isolation."

Book excerpt: Margaret of Valois (French: Marguerite, 14 May 1553 - 27 March 1615), commonly Margot, was a French princess of the Valois dynasty who became queen consort of Navarre and later also of France.By her marriage to Henry III of Navarre (later Henry IV of France), she was queen of Navarre and then France at her husband's 1589 accession to the latter throne. Their marriage was annulled in 1599 by decision of the Pope. She was the daughter of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici and the sister of kings Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III.Her marriage, which was to celebrate the reconciliation of Catholics and Huguenots, was tarnished by St Bartholomew's Day massacre and the resumption of the religious troubles which ensued. In the conflict between Henry III and the Malcontents, she took the side of Francis, Duke of Anjou, her younger brother, and this caused a deep aversion of the king against her.As Queen of Navarre, she also played a pacifying role in the stormy relations between her husband and the French monarchy. Ballotted between the two courts, she endeavored to lead a happy conjugal life, but the sterility of her couple and the political tensions inherent in the French Wars of Religion caused the end of her marriage. Mistreated by a shadowy brother, rejected by an opportunistic husband, she chose the path of the opposition in 1585. She took the side of the Catholic League and was forced to live in Auvergne in an exile which lasted twenty years.

Book excerpt: Margaret of Valois (French: Marguerite, 14 May 1553 - 27 March 1615) was Queen of Navarre and of France during the late sixteenth century. She is also known as "Margaret of France" because she was a princess of France by birth, who later incidentally became Queen of France by marriage. Notably, she was the last surviving member of the House of Valois. When imprisoned by her brother Henry III for eighteen years, she took advantage of the time to write her memoirs, which included a succession of stories relating to the disputes of her brothers Charles IX and Henry III with her husband Henry IV. The memoirs were published posthumously in 1628.

This book was released on 2021-11-24 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motto of Louise de Savoie was "God gave me wings! I will fly and rest later." This work explores in detail the relationship of Louise, who came to be the mother of the heir to the Crown of France during the life of Louis XII, and the world of French culture and politics, which included the career of her son François, Duke of Valois. The story of how a woman, who was not a queen, gave birth to King François Ier is complex. The book ends well before her death in 1535, after decades of decision making behind the scenes. In this era "One was individualist and optimistic, which is to say that one was young....We will get to know one of the particular elements of this society, by entering the small court of Amboise, where Louise de Savoie raised François I and Marguerite de Valois under her wing; one of the rare princely courts which survived in France, and one of the best types of the small centers where the new evolution was taking place. Even today, among delicate minds, François I and his sister retain a certain popularity, less perhaps because of what we know of their lives, (and the sources of our book are almost exclusively unpublished or new, as we will be able to see in the references) only because all that they have left, stories, letters, poems, bear the stamp of clear, distinguished, brilliant individualities. No one bound themselves less than they did to the commonly agreed..." - Clavière This is the first and only translation of René de Maulde la Clavière into English. Previous Frank H.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in 1847, while Dumas was at the height of his powers, this play recounts the events leading up to the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre of the French Huguenots--and the subsequent death of King Charles IX. The playwright focuses on the people inadvertently caught up in the slaughter--which, once started, cannot be repressed. By following the fate of two nobles, the Catholic Count Coconnas and the Huguenot Count de la Mole, and linking their stories to Queen Marguerite (called Margot), wife in name only to the Huguenot King of Navarre (the future King Henry IV of France), Dumas reveals the terror and duplicity that the massacre incurred even at the highest levels of society--including the royal family. Despite its length, the story moves quickly and with great force. One of Dumas's best historical narratives!

Book excerpt: The riveting true story of mother-and-daughter queens Catherine de' Medici and Marguerite de Valois, whose wildly divergent personalities and turbulent relationship changed the shape of their tempestuous and dangerous century. Set in magnificent Renaissance France, this is the story of two remarkable women, a mother and daughter driven into opposition by a terrible betrayal that threatened to destroy the realm. Catherine de' Medici was a ruthless pragmatist and powerbroker who dominated the throne for thirty years. Her youngest daughter Marguerite, the glamorous "Queen Margot," was a passionate free spirit, the only adversary whom her mother could neither intimidate nor control. When Catherine forces the Catholic Marguerite to marry her Protestant cousin Henry of Navarre against her will, and then uses her opulent Parisian wedding as a means of luring his followers to their deaths, she creates not only savage conflict within France but also a potent rival within her own family. Rich in detail and vivid prose, Goldstone's narrative unfolds as a thrilling historical epic. Treacherous court politics, poisonings, international espionage, and adultery form the background to a story that includes such celebrated figures as Elizabeth I, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Nostradamus. The Rival Queens is a dangerous tale of love, betrayal, ambition, and the true nature of courage, the echoes of which still resonate.
