Catherine de Medici was Queen Mother of France during the reign of her son, King Charles IX. She was the leader of the conspiracy to assassinate Admiral Gaspard de Coligny. When the plan failed, she influenced her son to authorize the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. (DW: The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve)
