About the author
Marguerite de Valois, also known as Queen Margot, was born on May 14, 1553, the daughter of King Henry II of France and Catherine de’ Medici. In 1572, she married Henry of Navarre, who later became Henry IV of France, and became queen consort of Navarre and, from 1589, queen consort of France.
Her marriage took place during a period of deep conflict between Catholics and Protestants, and the political tensions surrounding it helped shape her turbulent life at court. Marguerite later wrote her Memoirs, an autobiographical account of her experiences and the intrigues of the French royal court. She died in Paris on March 27, 1615.
