XVI century Europe. Renaissance masters paint the ceilings of Florentine churches, kings fight for spheres of influence, and the Reformation forever changes the religious face of society. It is a time of empires and revolutions, and against this backdrop three great women come to power – three queens whose names will forever remain in history.
The story of Catherine Medici begins in a besieged monastery, and ends near the French throne. She will be revered as much as she will be hated. The story of Mary Stuart begins in Scotland and ends in England. Imprisoned, the traitor queen will slowly age alone, longing to remember her serene childhood before being led to the scaffold and beheaded for her part in the plot. The story of Elizabeth Valois begins in France and ends in Spain. The beloved daughter of the French king, she will become a respected Spanish queen and will tragically die at a very young age. The crown could have gone to the top. The same crown could have destroyed it.
