Queen Marguerite de Valois of France and the Wars of Religion | History for Sleep

The History of The Forgotten Queen of France: Marguerite de Valois and the Wars of Religion – Bedtime Stories for Grown-Ups. She was called La Reine Margot — the queen France tried to erase from memory. Born into the bloodstained twilight of the Valois dynasty, Marguerite de Valois lived through betrayal, exile, and the terrifying Wars of Religion. Once a princess of peace and a bride of politics, she became both witness and survivor to one of history’s most violent centuries.

💤 This soothing, cinematic story is crafted for grown-ups who seek calm, reflective storytelling before sleep. Set against the flicker of candlelight and the echo of distant bells, it brings to life the forgotten queen who survived her age of fire — Marguerite de Valois.

In this story, you’ll experience:
The fall of the Valois dynasty and the birth of the Bourbons
The political marriage that sparked the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre
A queen’s captivity and her transformation into a philosopher of survival
The rediscovery of La Reine Margot — not as myth, but as a woman ahead of her time
