Plot

Quotes

Prince Charles: I may be young, and inexperienced, but I promise I’ll give you an heir.

King Francis: You are the prettiest vampire that ever lived.

Queen Mary: I am just as strong and stubborn as Elizabeth. I will not live in fear of her.

Princess Claude: I expect you’ll be wearing that when we play cards tonight.

Queen Mary: Are you trying to blame a woman for a man’s choices?

Lord Narcisse: From now on, you're only allowed to dream about me.
Lady Lola: As you wish, Lord Narcisse.

Lord Narcisse: Will you marry me?
Lady Lola: To marry you, is to defy my king, risk Catherine's wrath, and the judgment of my friends. And yet, you make me feel stronger than I’ve ever felt before. I can't believe I’m saying this, but yes. Yes I’ll marry you...Someday we will. But for now, we must keep it a secret.
Lord Narcisse: For now.

Lord Narcisse: I have many children of my own you know. Some of them turn out quite well.

Lady Lola: As long as Francis has doubts, so will I.

Lady Lola: For so long I thought my life belonged to a king. Now I’ve realized, my life really belongs to me son.

Princess Claude: God I wish mother were here. She handles tragedy with ruthless clarity.

Princess Claude: Actually there is someone who shares mothers’ talents.
Lord Narcisse: I will not help you with this.
Princess Claude: Why not!

Lord Narcisse: She is actually dead in’t she?
Prince Charles: Her eyes rolled back in her head!

Prince Charles: You want me The Dauphin to get you a bucket of water?!

Queen Catherine: Greer had one of her girls watching him, but unfortunately the poor thing can’t read.

Queen Catherine: You must be Nicolas.
Nicolas: How’d you get in here?
Queen Catherine: I’m Catherine de' Medici, Queen mother of France. Perhaps you've heard of me.

Nicolas: And Elizabeth will never give up Navarre.
Queen Catherine: Yes she will. Because I have something to trade. My silence.

Queen Catherine: Withdraw your offer or I will burn Elizabeth’s name to the ground.

Queen Catherine: I don’t have much to live for these days, but I would still die for my children.

King Francis: A measure of a man is what he does when no one is looking.

King Antoine: Have you gone mad!?
King Francis: Don’t misjudge me. I am my father’s son.

Queen Catherine: She does have her moments doesn't she. I’ll look after her.

Queen Catherine: I’m sorry I wasn't the mother you wanted me to be. I did my best.
King Francis: I know. In your own way.

Queen Mary: Don Carlos. It was your spies who got that information to me wasn’t it.
Queen Catherine: Well, I knew you couldn’t leave France empty-handed.
