Queen Margot: The Temptation of Passion

“Yes, I distorted history—but look at our wonderful children!” Alexander Dumas used to say about his works. And so, in his famous novel “QUEEN MARGOT,” everything has been twisted from the very title—in reality, Marguerite de Valois never sat on the throne for a single day, and she only let herself be called “Margot” by her brother. Contrary to legends, she wasn’t a beauty—but even in her old age she was surrounded by a circle of young adorers. Contrary to historical anecdotes, Margaret became famous not for scandalous love affairs, but as the greatest writer of her era. Contrary to her family, she saved the Huguenots on the St. Bartholomew’s Night. And her only love throughout her whole life was neither the not-executed La Môle, nor Henry IV—but a completely different man. Who exactly?

Read the true story of love, motherhood, and losses of the most mysterious legendary Queen Margot—whose heartfelt secrets have not been uncovered to this day!

The book was also published under the title “Catherine de’ Medici. Mistress of her husband.”
