- "I always enjoy his company. And I know he always greatly enjoys mine."
- —Cortenza de' Medici
Cortenza de' Medici is an Italian noblewoman and a cousin of Catherine de' Medici.
Personality
Cortenza de' Medici was not a very nice woman, though she was very lovely and intelligent, she used her wit to make others around her feel less about themselves or bully them. She appeared to have constantly reminded her cousin Catherine over the years about her and king Henry's relationship, even hinting at the fact that it still continued to go on. Not long into meeting Mary Stuart was she already belittling her.
Early life
Once had a romantic relationship with King Henry and wanted to mary him before he was wed to Catherine. It is hinted at that a possible affair might have gone on between the two. However, though Henry has had many mistresses, it is unlikely he took one in his wife's cousin.
Season 1
Where is your husband?
Cortenza and Roman de' Medici were waiting together in the throne room when their cousin Catherine de' Medici walked in along with Mary Stuart. She had come to inform her cousin she was going to be taking her guards back, she had lent them to her years ago and now was there to recollect them. Catherine and Cortenza bantered back and forth, a clear dislike for each other began showing.
The next day Cortenza burst into the Scottish Queen's room and informs her that Catheirne had been taken, and whoever it was left a note. Mary asks what to do and Cortenza declines to do anything. Claiming that the Medici's don't give into threats or blackmail.
I kill murder Beatrice to make my point!
Later that night Cortenza runs into Mary Stuart again. The conversation takes a wrong turn with the topic of the slaughtered Scotsmen[1] is brought up and soon Cortenza is thretening Mary, and one of catherine's favourite ladies, Beatrice.
That night Cortenza de' Medici is in her room when an intruder slits her thought and decapites her.
Cortenza de' Medici's body is later brought back to Italy.
Notes
- it is unknow if Roman de' Medici and Cortenza are cousins or brother-and-sister.
- Cortenza de' Medici's death is 49th death of Season One of Reign. [2]
- Decapitating someone is an extreamly messing thing to do, John Prevo would have had to relocate the body before doing so, or had a very large clean p job to do before leaving her room.
