"If you bloom, the breeze comes", the process of history has never lacked the figure of female power, a generation of empress Wu Zetian Chengqi "Zhenguan legacy", Queen Elizabeth is the helmsman of the empire that never sets, Catherine the Great is promoting the continuous expansion of the Russian Empire...
They are either tenacious, or iron-fisted, or tolerant, and they all shine on the stage of history with their unique feminine charm.
In recent years, various palace fight dramas have emerged in an endless stream, such as "The Biography of Zhen Huan", "The Absolute Queen", "Elizabeth"... The life of a legendary woman has been adapted into a film and television work, put on the big screen, and the audience can't stop.
In fact, in 1994, France adapted a palace fight drama "Queen Margot" based on real history, in which Queen Margot was played by Isabelle Adjani and won the best actress at the Cannes Film Festival.
And the protagonist in the movie, Queen Margot, the French palace fight she has experienced is actually more terrible than the TV series. Queen Margot herself is also recognized as the most elegant and beautiful woman in all of Europe, and a generation of literary heroes Dumas has also written books for her, which is the deserved French rose in European history.
Queen Margot's legendary life is best known for the Massacre of St. Bartolomus on the day after her wedding.
This horrific massacre, which arose after the wedding of Margot and Henry, was more exaggerated than the film and television drama, and the massacre lasted for several months from the early morning of August 24, 1572, and was the bloodiest night in the history of Paris. Queen Margot's wedding was therefore called the Blood Wedding.
The driver of this tragedy was Queen Margot's mother, Catherine, who, so to speak, had been trapped by her mother, Catherine, all her life. Due to her low status, her husband was snubbed, and her mother, Catherine, became more and more insane in the long period of indifference.
Until the death of her husband, in order to control the power of the dynasty, she forced her Catholic daughter Margaret to marry Henry of Navarre, a Protestant, in defiance of popular opposition. Lacking love since childhood, Margaret, under the strict discipline of her mother, had to accept this unblessed marriage in order to please her mother.
Sure enough, on the wedding day, the Protestant Henry refused to enter the Mass Hall of the Catholic Church, and when Margaret was asked if she would like to marry Henry, King of Navarre, she chose to remain silent.
In the end, Margot's brother held her by the head and forced her to agree to the wedding. The wedding caused dissatisfaction throughout France, set off a bloody storm, and caused the historical tragedy of the Massacre. Since then, Queen Margot's ups and downs have officially begun.
After the palace change, Henry was forced to convert to Catholicism. Queen Catherine had asked Queen Margot to propose annulment of the marriage in order to save herself. But Queen Margot was disheartened by Catherine's mother-daughter love after this incident, and she was determined never to be at her mercy again. Therefore, he refused Catherine's arrangement and chose to stand with her husband.
In fact, at this time she did not know her husband at all, but in order to resist her mother's arrogance, she would rather be with her husband, who was still a stranger, than return to her mother again. This strangeness also lays hidden dangers for the rupture of the relationship between husband and wife in the future. Since then, the mother-daughter relationship has officially broken down.
Margot and her husband Henry were sent back to Paris and imprisoned in the Louvre. Until February 1576, when Henry escaped from Paris, Margot did not go with her husband.
The couple will remain separated for the next two years. Later, Henry III was forced by political pressure to release her, and Margot continued to live with her mother, Catherine.
Margot was reluctant to continue living with her powerful mother and was eventually allowed to go to Pau to join her husband. But by this time, the couple's relationship had long since broken down, and Henry had a lover of his own.
Before long, Margot also had her own open lover, and the couple quarreled all day long. By 1982, Margo returned to France due to illness, but king Henry III forced her to leave the French royal family.
Margot had to return to her husband, but the couple was now intolerable, and her self-esteem could not tolerate her husband's indifference. As a result, Margot staged a coup d'état to seize power, but was soon imprisoned in the castle by Henry III for 18 years.
Until 1592, after her husband ascended the throne, Margot offered to divorce and won her own rights. The divorce negotiations lasted 7 years, eventually retaining Margot's name as queen, and at the same time, Margot, on her own, supported Henry IV to smoothly hand over the throne.
Such a broad mind and ability has left her a strong mark in history. Margo may not have the iron fist and power of her own mother, Catherine, but her pursuit of ideals and love is the embodiment of feminism in that era.
Her lifelong devotion to Catholicism and her willingness to marry her Protestant husband reflect her adherence to and tolerance for religion.
After the divorce, Queen Margot lived in poverty and had to sell jewelry to make ends meet in order to pay off her debts. However, no one expected that the Queen Margot, who had both beauty and wisdom, had many men in her life, but her husband Henry IV was indifferent to her beauty.
But this couple became the best friends after the divorce. Perhaps, they are not suitable for being husband and wife.
During the most difficult times in Queen Margot's life, she reconciled with Henry IV and his current wife and returned to Paris with their help. The former couple put aside their prejudices, and Queen Margot would often go to the palace to help Henry IV advise or help the queen plan her activities.
At the same time, she also brings her unique artistic niche to the folk. Often help poor artists as their artistic advisors. The queen, who had experienced a bloody wedding, won the love of the people with her personal charm in her later years.
On May 27, 1615, Queen Margot died in Paris, ending the legendary life of the beautiful queen. She undertook the Valois dynasty with the first half of her life, and in the second half of her life, she personally handed over the Bourbon dynasty to Henry IV, helping him unify France and become the most popular king in French history.
Queen Margot, like her mother Catherine, has taken the road to power, but unlike her own mother, she has no ambition and does not need ambition. Throughout her life, she only pursued her true self.
After her death, Queen Margot was buried in the Church of Valois, where thousands of people came to mourn her, and her legend was like the French rose, which radiated a wisp of fragrance throughout history.
