Life of Catherine de’ Medici
Catherine de' Medici was born in Florence in 1519 to influential parents from aristocratic backgrounds. Orphaned at a young age, she was raised by prominent relatives and educated in Roman Catholicism. King Francis I initially wanted Catherine to be raised at the French court for marriage, but Pope Leo X had different plans for her to marry Ippolito de’ Medici. Catherine's status as Duchess of Urbino became contentious between the Medici popes, and she sought solace at Santissima Annuziata delle Murate for three years. Despite facing pressure to provide a male heir under Salic law and enduring rumors of poisoning and witchcraft due to the lack of an heir, Catherine eventually gave birth to five boys, securing the future of the Valois dynasty. As Queen Consort of France, Catherine had limited political influence, as her husband King Henry favored his mistress Diane de Poitiers over her. However, Catherine played a significant role in raising Mary, Queen of Scots, and arranging her marriage to her son, Francis. After her husband died in 1559, Catherine established herself as a powerful Queen Mother, supporting her son Francis II as he faced challenges in his reign, such as frail health and political turmoil. Catherine wielded significant authority as the mother of the King, making bold moves like displacing Diane de Poitiers and navigating religious conflicts.
