No one knew their potions and poisons better than Catherine De’ Medici; lore suggests she even made it fashionable. When Queen Catherine married King Henry II of France, she brought with her the fragrances, potions, and knowledge of poisons from the Medici poison garden. When people who wronged Catherine, or her children, began to die from unseen causes, the people whispered of her poisoning those who crossed her - but Catherine was never convicted.
