In order to impose peace amidst a religious war in France, a forced wedding is arranged between Margot de Valois, sister of the immature Catholic King Charles IX, and the Huguenot King Henri of Navarre. At the same time, Catherine of Medici maintains her behind-the-scenes power by ordering assaults, poisonings, and instigations to incest.
