The Rivalry Between Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici
Then, in the French History segment of the podcast, Annie shares the famous parts of Chenonceau Chateau History that grabbed her attention. I said famous, maybe I should have said "infamous". I'm talking about the story of the rivalry between Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici.
The Painful Death of François I and Henri II
In this episode, Annie also discusses the gruesome way in which two French Kings died. She edited this episode on Halloween, so this probably influenced that. King or no King, life and death before modern medicine was painful. What do you think? Did François I or Henry II have it worse?
