Her position is fragile, and Henri’s impending marriage to Catherine de Medici may destroy her dreams of domination. Can she continue to enchant Henri, 20 years younger than her, forever? From Walter Presents, in French with English subtitles.

More than a Queen, Part 2

Season 1 Episode 4 | 55m 5s

Anne is in complete disgrace. Diane is a duchess, the official favorite—almost a queen! But the headiness of power can lead to sinful pride, and when Henri chivalrously organizes a jousting tournament, not even Nostradamus can reassure the queen or the king's favorite that all will be well.
