And I'll give your readers the first "sneak peek" right this second: at the opening of each chapter I have a quote from the wife in each of the royal marriages <i>about</i> her marriage (except for the rare instances where my research didn't yield a direct quote from the wife, but something someone else said about her instead.<br /><br />So, since C.W. Gortner's book on Catherine de Medici has been touched on a couple of times lately, in reference to his book on Juana the Mad, here's my quote from Catherine de Medici that opens the chapter on her marriage with Henri II [remember that he was passionately in love with his mistress, Diane de Poitiers]:<br /><br />“. . . never did a woman who loved her husband succeed in loving his whore.”<br />~Catherine de MediciLeslie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024567064317102889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-76727224305876114652009-09-12T02:00:30.524-07:002009-09-12T02:00:30.524-07:00Cool WELCOME!
