| Queen Margot (French La Reine Margot) is a novel written in 1845 by Alexandre Dumas, whose previous works include 'The Count of Monte Cristo' and 'The Three Musketeers'. It is set in Paris in August 1572 during the reign of Charles IX (a member of the Valois dynasty) and the French Wars of Religion. The novels protagonist is Marguerite de Valois, the daughter of the infamous Catherine de Medici and the deceased King Henry II, and it focuses on her story during the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre, especially her love affair with the Protestant La Mole and her marriage to Henry IV. Although all the characters and events are historically accurate there are certain irregularities in Dumas's novel which historians have put down to 'artistic licence' and the fact that he might have been influenced by propaganda against certain characters, Queen Catherine specifically. Written in French it has been translated by Oxford Classics and is now available in English. Several movies were based on the novel, including:
