Verraad in de geschiedenisAflevering 24: Catharina de' Medici en de bloedige BartholomeusnachtAls koningin-moeder van drie koningen trok Catharina de’ Medici decennialang aan de touwtjes in zestiende eeuws Frankrijk. Ze was de meesteres van intrige, vergiftigingen en manipulatie — althans, zo fluisterden haar vijanden.

Of was ze een vrouw die, in een tijd van religieuze waanzin, alles deed om haar familie en haar land te beschermen?
