Are you wondering why it took so long for the Serpent Queen to get pregnant and bear an heir for Henry the second of France? Doesn't it seem incredulous that she was barren for 10 long years and then, all of a sudden, popped out 10 children in a 10 year span?

It did to me, so I went digging for the answer. What I found was pretty shocking given that I had never heard of such a thing, yet it st seemingly pretty common.

00:00 - Intro
01:06 - Diane de Poitiers, Henry II's mistress
03:01- Henry II's illegitimate daughter
04:20 - Catherine de Medici begs King Francis I to stay at court (The Serpent Queen, Episode 2)
05:05 - Catherine de Medici will do anything to get pregnant.
07:00 - What was wrong with Henry II's manhood?
08:18 - Catherine de Medici's children.

She waited 10 years before having her first child. It was years of fighting off the vultures who wanted her position once Henry II came to the throne. There were the Guise's who try to get power any way they could, Diane de Poitiers, Henry's mistress seeking to stay on top (pun intended) and the French court in general who wanted Henry to dump his ugly, barren Queen and move on.

But Catherine held favor with Henry's father and managed to maintain her position (another pun) in light of all the opposition.

This video covers her trials and tribulations during the 10 years it took her to find out the real problem and how to solve it thanks to ....well, watch the video to find out!

Thanks for watching!
