wait... who is Catherine Medici??? in ur own words plz

Answer:

Italian-born French queen, regent and mother of three kings of France. She was a powerful influence in 16th century France, particularly during the Wars of Religion.

Caterina Maria Romola di Lorenzo de Medici was born in Florence on 13 April 1519. Her father was Lorenzo de Medici, Duke of Urbino and ruler of Florence and her mother was Madeleine de la Tour d'Auvergne, cousin of Francis I, King of France.

Catherine's mother died when she was two-weeks-old and her father soon afterwards. In 1533, at the age of 14, Catherine's uncle Pope Clement VII arranged her marriage to the duke of Orléans, second son of the king of France.

A year after their marriage, the duke began a long affair with Diane de Poitiers. Diane remained a dominant force in his life for the next 25 years, leaving Catherine sidelined. It was not until ten years after their marriage that Catherine gave birth to their first child. This greatly improved the queen’s position and the couple eventually had seven surviving children.

In 1536, the duke of Orléans became heir to the throne. Eleven years later he was crowned Henry II of France. Unfortunately it was to be a short reign as Henry died in a jousting accident in 1559, thrusting Catherine onto the political stage. Their eldest son Francis was proclaimed king, but died after less than a year. Then in 1560, their second son Charles was crowned, aged just ten years old. Catherine acted as regent for the young king and as a result dominated Charles throughout his reign.

She at first adopted a conciliatory policy towards the Huguenots (French Protestants), but in 1562 civil war broke out in France, marking the beginning of the series of conflicts which became known as the French Wars of Religion.

In 1572, in an effort to bring reconciliation, Catherine arranged the marriage of her daughter Marguerite to the Protestant Henry, King of Navarre. During the wedding celebrations in Paris, the Huguenot leader, Coligny, was murdered, as were hundreds of other Protestants who had gathered for the wedding. This became known as the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, in which Catherine was probably involved.

Charles IX died in 1574 and Catherine's favourite son Henry succeeded as Henry III of France. She continued to play a central role in government and made further fruitless attempts to reconcile the opposing sides in the ongoing civil war.

Catherine died on 5 January 1589 and was buried next to her husband in the church of St Denis in Paris.

Read the excerpt from "Woman's Rights to the Suffrage." It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our [descendants], but to the whole people – women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government – the ballot. Which fact supports Anthony's opinion that all adults should have the right to vote we, the whole people, who formed the Union. they are denied the use of the only means of securing them . . . And it is a downright mockery to talk to women . . . not to give the blessings of liberty . . .

Directions: Use the textbook and your notes to identify which individual said the quotes below.

5. I wrote, The Crisis to rekindle patriotic spirit during difficult times and Common Sense, to challenge the loyalists and neutralists to fight for independence from Great Britain.

6. I was an early advocate for women’s rights and wanted women to have rights during a time when they weren’t seen as equals. I wrote a letter to my husband, John Adams that encouraged him and his fellow patriots to “remember the ladies” as they fought for freedom.

7. I was an old man during the Revolution and couldn’t fight for the Patriots. However, I continued to serve the Patriot cause by traveling to France to try to gather support for the Patriots. I also helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris 1793, which officially ended the American Revolution.

8. I was an African American Patriot leader from New Hampshire during the Revolution. In a ride similar to Paul Revere’s, I warned the people of New Hampshire of British advancements. After the war, I became one of the first black men elected to a political position in the United States.

9. I was on my way to work at the docks when shots began to ring out. I was one of the first to die in the conflict between British and colonists in 1773.

10. A good friend of Abigail Adams, I was also an advocate for women’s rights. Both my husband and my brother were very active in the Patriot movement. I wrote extensively in support of the Patriot cause and published plays and other pieces anonymously, which convinced many to support independence.

11. I was the leader of the Sons of Liberty who believed there should be “no taxation without representation.”

12. I was a French nobleman who joined the Patriots fight for freedom. I spent the winter at Valley Forge with General Washington and his men.
