Young Queens. The Price of Greatness, Glory, and Power

Europe in the 16th century. Masters of the Renaissance decorate the ceilings of Florentine churches, kings fight for spheres of influence, and the Reformation forever changes the religious face of society. The time of empires and revolutions comes, and against this backdrop, three great women – three queens – come to power, whose names will forever remain in history.
The story of Catherine de' Medici begins in a besieged monastery and ends beside the French throne. She will be revered as much as she is hated. The story of Mary Stuart begins in Scotland and ends in England. Imprisoned, the traitor queen will slowly age in solitude, wistfully recalling her serene childhood before she is led to the scaffold and beheaded for her involvement in a conspiracy. The story of Elizabeth of Valois begins in France and ends in Spain. The beloved daughter of the French king, she will become a respected Spanish queen and tragically die at a very young age. The crown could elevate to the pinnacle. This same crown could destroy.
