HENRY IV OF ENGLAND, THE KING OF HEARTS

Exceptional destinies

An episode from the series SECRETS OF HISTORY - PORTRAITS

Synopsis

Henri IV is the most popular king in French history. But this seducer is a more complex character than expected. His passion for women brought the country to the brink of chaos; his immoderate taste for power was fuelled by boundless ambition, and his murder by Ravaillac is still today the most mysterious regicide ever.

SECRETS OF HISTORY delves into the intimacy of the good King Henri, alongside the scandalous Queen Margot and the intriguing Marie de Médicis.
