Excellent, can't wait

Ooooooh, this should be a juicy episode! 🙂

She’s fascinating, her early life reads like an edge of the seat thriller, swinging between marraige and death depending if the circumstances of her family.

gregjenner.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah a brutal childhood, for sure

Downloaded the app and enjoyed this episode tremendously!!

Here is a nice picture of the gorgeous Chenonceau chateau which Catherine de Medici eventually grabbed from her husband’s mistress, Diane de Poitiers

I seem to be drawn to complicated Renaissance women. I always root for Catherine de Medici, Lucrezia Borgia and Catarina Sforza. I was glad Diane was kicked to the kerb. LOL.

mrgeorgeg.bsky.social•39 days ago

Oooo. I've been there!

carolinehooton.bsky.social•39 days ago

Oof. I bet Diane was salty about losing that.

Bit of a damp problem there...

gregjenner.bsky.social•39 days ago

Hahaha

My first thought was 'mosquitoes!'

Now _that_ is a lake house.

I love how Kings and Queens, with the power of life and death in their hands, would just take coveted real estate from their enemies, forcing them to be *grateful* that's all they did.

Is it just a fancy house on a bridge?

traceydoesscience.bsky.social•39 days ago

Am I right in thinking it was a hospital in WWII and became an escape route for allied troops as the river was the border between occupied & free France? Or did I dream that...?

gregjenner.bsky.social•39 days ago

I don’t know that one! Maybe?

ingenoor.bsky.social•39 days ago

I can see why she did....

visadiva.bsky.social•39 days ago

I finished reading a biography of her this week. Nice timing by past me.

Just had a bath with you all. Crowded, but I learned a lot! Off to watch The Serpent Queen.

jonathanmoles.bsky.social•39 days ago

I can genuinely say this has been my favourite of all the shows. All guests have been amazing over the years, but the chemistry between the three of you on this one was just fantastic.

estelleprnq.bsky.social•39 days ago

Thanks so much for having me, Greg! I had a great time!

Let's take a listen.
