There will be blood.
⚜️
A summary of the major political figures in this episode (most of whom will be dead by the end):
Catherine de' Medici, ruling on behalf of her son Charles IX, a moderating force between the factions (at first)
The Ultra-Catholics:

  • Duke Henry of Anjou, Charles IX's precocious younger brother
  • The Duke and Cardinal de Guise, recently kicked out of power
  • Anne de Montmorency, Constable of France, an elderly veteran

The Huguenot Protestants and their sympathisers:

  • Antoine de Bourbon, an idiot, first Prince of the Blood and a moderate Catholic
  • Jeanne III, Queen of Navarre, his wife, a radical Protestant, with whom he has a son Henry of Navarre
  • Louis, Prince of Condé, his ambitious brother, also a Protestant
  • Gaspard de Coligny, Admiral of France, a charismatic Protestant general, nephew of Montmorency

Our "Wars of Religion" theme is taken from a recording of the Huguenot "Psalm 24". The full track is available on Youtube. As we were unable to find the original source for this music, please let us know if you have any information so that we can properly credit the artist.

CATEGORIES
Ben and Eliza each give a score out of 10 for the first 4 categories. The 5th is determined by maths! The result is a total score out of 100.

  1. Enchanté: The shallow, first-impressions round: How fabulous and iconic an image have they passed down to us?
  2. En Garde: (A.K.A. “Selfish Wins”) How well did they gain and increase their personal power, either through scheming, statesmanship or good old fashion battles?
  3. Voulez-Vous: (A.K.A. “Selfless Wins”) How much would we want to live under their regime? How well did they better the world around them through law reforms and cultural projects?
  4. Ouh-Là-Là: How pearl-clutchingly scandalous were the events of their life, both in their time and down through the ages? How mad, bad and dangerous were they to know?
  5. La Vie en Throne: How many years did they reign, and how many of their children survived them?
