At the center of the events of “The Queen’s Conspiracy” is Catherine de’ Medici, who reigned in France in the second half of the 16th century, during the era of religious wars between Catholics and Huguenots, rightfully considered one of the most turbulent and interesting in French history. The old queen's last hours are full of painful thoughts. Into whose insidious trap did she fall seventeen years ago, by agreeing to the massacre of the Huguenots on the night of St. Bartholomew?
