Marie de Medici was the second woman from the social-climbing Italian banking family to marry into French royalty. After a decade of quarrels with her husband’s mistress, Marie was released from her miserable marriage when Henri IV was assassinated while stuck in traffic. Marie became regent for her young son, Louis XIII. But as he grew into manhood, Marie refused to share power. Mother and son engaged in an epic and bloody power struggle which resulted in the Queen mother being convicted of treason and expelled from France. She stayed with her daughter, Henrietta Maria, Queen of England and tried to get her son in Law, Charles I to ally with her other sons in law, the King of Spain and Duke of Savoy against Louis. But they refused to escalate the family drama into war. One of the most horrible mothers in history died alone and destitute in the home of an artist. Let’s explore the staggering rise and fall of Marie de Medicis, Queen of France.
