Historically, Henry was not a tyrant, or cold or cruel, and he was much more affectionate with his legitimate children than Catherine was. Quite frankly Diane and Catherine are poles apart in terms of character. He later visited his Henry when he was on his death bed and felt alot of grief and guilt over what he had done.

The reason why Catherine turned out to be like that was because of the circumstances and the environment that she was shaped after Henri and Diane. Thomas More

Diane was Henry's official mistress.

As well as misspel Henri II.

In truth, she was an opportunist who took advantage of two very young people, both Catherine and Henri were only 14 at the time of their marriage.

She was 14 when she was forced into a marriage to a humpbacked older man! Henri did fall for Diane but I believe he always had sort of a school boy crush on her. I feel that if kings and queens were truly in love, history would speak of it more often.

Seriously .... Diane was 21 years old when Henry was born.

The expectations were that the King would have such an arrangement and would have his "favorites" that He picked.

Her position increased her wealth and family's status. THEY DID SO NOT DESERVE EACH OTHER! Im not sure if Diane ever asked Henri or not, but if she did then that would be a serious bad move. The two stories in my opinion have the same foundation. -She pressed henry to give her chennonceaux castel because she knows that francis promessed to offer it to catherine because of the fact that catherine loved verry much chennonceaux castel.

July 2013 As you can tell, it is the same story, but follows the life of Queen Catherine de Medici, and gives her point of view on the throne. Whilst captive of the Spanish, Henry and Francis were beaten and starved.

Married at 14, into the royal family who look down on her, cause she was not royal, she was an orphan, married to a man who never loved her, flaunted his mistress in front of her, he pretty much treated Diane as queen. It was my first time reading about the french court.

Enjoy it as a drama that took names and the very very minimal about of history based plot and ran with it. He was obviouselly crazy about Diane, but I believe that she was just clever and manipulating Him, from the very young age. So basically..she has an affair with the father, as well as the son. None of you seem to be understanding the concept that marriage today and marriage in the 1500s are different. August 2011

Besides who are we to judge anyone?

As far I read historically Diane and Henri, did not have kids, Many historical fiction writers, claims, Diane De France Henri's daughter not by Catherine, was their daughter. Prince Henry III (Son) Even today, the symbol can be seen on the ceiling of the Louvre Museum, Fountainbleau, Chenonceaux, and the Paris Military Museum.

Besides, history shows Catherine as a particularly unlikable person in many ways.

Not long after Mary's return to court Henry decided that he wanted to have an affair with one of her ladies Kenna. When Henry ran to greet his father, his father ran past Henry and Francis and jumped into another boat, leaving the boys behind with the Spanish as hostages in his place. He died in 1559, not 10 July 1558.

Gortner. Diane might seem noble and kind or maybe she even is, but the only reason why I think she was consistent on Catherine to stay as the queen because at that time both Henri and Catherine were young and she had enormous powers bestowed by seducing Henri. 11 years later, Catherine gave birth to their first child, the future Dauphin of France, Francis 3rd in line to the throne. Henry is headstrong, stubborn, and does not appreciate people undermining his authority as royalty. I am indeed surprised that you misspel Chenonceaux and the name of Diane de Poitiers.

Jane Seymour I don't believe Diane used Henri, and i don't believe that he would have been fool enough to be used for that long. Henry Viii I really don't see this relationship so beautiful and romantic, but rather bizzar. They had a strained relationship mostly because of the fact that Francis was Henry's heir and because he is closer to his mother. She and the entire court knew that Catherine was not a threat to her supreme of standing. You really need to pick up a history book. The relationship between Elizabeth II and Lord Dudley was one that was a "scandal" at the time. So on that point, by the time Henry turned 20, if Diane was 21 years senior, she might had been about age of menopause... or beyond it. Henry always saw him as his usurper instead of his heir causing Henry to be weary around him. It all served purposes to a bigger plan. The connection could have started as a motherly attention, and sice they are not related by blood, could have grown into something romantic and sensual... Let's remember, the morals of those times were different to ours. He was 54 and she was 14!

Joanna of Valois (Daughter) He asked her to teach his surviving and neglected son Henry social graces so that he would not offend Catherine de Medici. I see many people stating that Catherine was a mean person and all, but comon she was only 14 at that time! This would have caused some confusion so the names were changed making it easier for viewers to follow is my guess. A real love a love that spanned 25 years. KING HENRY WAS A MEAN, UNLOYAL, RUDE, PATHETIC, SELFISH, UGLY, UNHEARTED, AND A DIRT BAG!!!! Can I believe that they were "in love" ?
