By Mike Walker
Catherine de Medici, orphaned within weeks of her birth, was raised in a nunnery, then sold into a political marriage in the French House of Valois. Her husband is now King Henri II and Catherine has secured her position by producing an heir, but religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics is on the rise across Europe, and when Henri dies it is left to Catherine to try to hold together the bundle of sticks that is France.
