The King's Favorite
When Francois I puts Diane in charge of his youngest son Henri's sentimental education, he falls head-over-heels in love and she becomes the young man's mistress, despite an age gap of 20 years. But even as dauphin, is Henry enough to protect her from Catholic zealots, Anne de Pisseleu, and Diane herself?
The headiness of power can lead to sinful pride.
Henri can't wait to take the throne from his disease-ridden father.
Diane de Poitiers must rely on her beauty to maintain her position in Francois I's court.
