‘The Serpent Queen’ is based on the book ‘Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France’ by Leonie Frieda. It will follow Catherine de Medici, who marries into the French court as an orphaned teenager expected to bring in a fortune in dowry and produce heirs, only to discover that her husband is in love with an older woman and that she cannot conceive children. She manages to keep her marriage going, and rule France for thirty years.
