Diane de Poitiers was beautiful, wealthy, and well educated. Nineteen years his senior, she was Henri's ideal woman. Diane and Henri loved each other with a love that was not only romantic and physical, but which also existed on a pure and spiritual level. Henri lavished gifts upon the woman he loved, and Diane guided and inspired him like no other-until they were separated for eternity by a cruel twist of fate.
Over five hundred years later, historians credit Diane with the success of Henri's reign. But who was this woman who won the heart of the King of France? Let her tell you, in her own words...
