History
It is said that Catherine de’ Medici had dreams that came true and there was one in particular that haunted her throughout her family’s reign over the French Kingdom. In the final episode of our four-part series, Rachel and Kat discuss the fall of the Valois dynasty, thus fulfilling the prophetic dream Catherine fought so hard to prevent.
But before the fall, we have more family drama, more awkward carriage rides following failed attempted coups and more people ignoring warnings about attempted assassinations. *Spoiler alert: everyone dies in the end (sort of)* But the legacy of Catherine de’ Medici survives and history remembers her as being one of the most complex and complicated female leaders to have ever existed. Some of her legacy is good; a lot of it is bad; but none of it is boring.
