In 1536 Jane Boleyn lost everything - her husband, her family, her position at court. However bit by bit she rebuilt her career, and went on to serve 3 more of Henry VIIIs Queens, eventually becoming the closest confidant of his fifth Queen Katherine Howard. Once again however she would become embroiled in the marital affairs of the king, and this time there would be no second chances.

Jane Boleyn was sister in law, and confidante, to one of England’s best known Queen Consorts - Anne Boleyn. She saw firsthand the rise and fall of the Boleyn family, and was later accused of participating in their downfall. However the claims that she accused her husband of incest with his sister are unproven, and there is little evidence that she had anything to do with their executions.

Catherine’s reign had begun with such promise - she hoped for tolerance, peace and the continuation of the Valois dynasty. When she died, all of these aims had failed, and she instead became associated with one of the bloodiest episodes in French history.

When Catherine de Medici became Regent of France, few realised just how well suited and well prepared she was for the role. Her earlier years had forced her to develop many of the skills necessary to become a capable ruler. She would need every one of these skills, as France was about to enter one of its most deadly periods - the Wars of Religion. The turmoil was more than one leader could ever manage or control, but Catherine remained optimistic that peace and compromise could prevail.
