The Serpent Queen
Katharina von Medici gilt als Immigrantin, ist gewöhnlich und schlicht und wird als verwaister Teenager an den französischen Hof des 16. Jahrhunderts verheiratet, wo sie ein Vermögen an Mitgift mitbringen und viele Erben zeugen soll, nur um festzustellen, dass ihr Mann in eine ältere Frau verliebt ist, ihre Mitgift nicht bezahlt wurde und sie nicht in der Lage ist, ein Kind zu bekommen. Doch nur dank ihrer Intelligenz und Entschlossenheit gelingt es ihr, ihre Ehe aufrechtzuerhalten, und sie meistert den Blutsport, der die Monarchie ausmacht, besser als jeder andere und regiert Frankreich 50 Jahre lang.
