Catherine de Medici (1519-1589) was married to King Henry II. She acted as a regent for her 15 year old son Francis II when he became King after Henry was killed by accident. She got all the blame for the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of 1572, in which thousands of Huguenots were killed in Paris and throughout France.

1. She was the neice of the Pope
2. She was married to the King of France
3. She was the mother to several other Kings of France
