His wife was Catherine de' Medici, who was added to the king at the age of 14. After the large and bright wedding, the marriage of Catherine and Henry was uneventful for a long time. And permanently childless. However, this did not bother any of them for a long time. Especially not Henrik. At the age of 16, he began a relationship with Diane de Poitiers, who was almost 20 years older than him. Then Henry became heir to the throne of France. From then on, Catherine was under high pressure to give birth to offspring. However, in the first ten (!) Years, the attempts were not followed by success. And Catherine feared that the king would part with her and be exiled. 

Yet she tried all the possibilities of medicine at the time. One is more bizarre than the other: 

· She was expecting her husband in bed with cow dung and deer antler, 

· She drank mule urine 

· She drilled holes in her husband's bedroom ceiling and watched him with his lover – like she was watching a live porn movie - she was excited about it and hoped she would get pregnant.

But the ultimate success was taken in the form of vanilla orange pancake called Crѐpe Suzette. This is a well-known dessert to this day. Her husband couldn't resist it anymore. It is said that this stimulated their sex life so much that in the next 13 years, they had 10 children. The survival of the dynasty was thus ensured. Their third son was the later Henry III. of France.

Diane de Poitiers 

Catherine of Medici spent her entire marriage in the shadow of her royal lover, Diane de Poitiers. The king piled Diane with her presents and told her all her worries and joys. Yet Diane was twenty years older than the king! That was a pretty rare thing at the time. 

The reason for this was that Henry lived in the courtyard of Madrid as a small child like a noble hostage. Because of this, he became an evasive, grumpy, inhibitory teenager. Therefore, his father entrusted his upbringing to the young widow of an old general. She was Diane de Poitiers. 

Diane was in her thirties at the time. In the  XVI century, it was a reasonably high age for a woman. She was a tall and beautiful blonde woman. For a long time, she surrounded Henry with maternal care but later seduced her regularly. Today we would say that she was a hot MILF who tied the young king to her with her sexual experience. It is quite understandable that this had a significant impact on Henry. She was his only love, and she remained faithful to him until his death. Although Catherine de' Medici had 11 children, the king always loved only Diane.

After the king's death 

After 27 years, a lousy marriage Henry II. was fatally wounded in a court knight tournament. Catherine de' Medici, of course, nurtured the ruler in its last days. She didn't even take off her black mourning dress for the rest of his life. But she also had plenty of time to remove Diane de Poitiers from the court and prepare for his son's reign. 

Catherine was obsessed with power and a violent queen. She used every means to preserve her family and her own power. She was considered by many to be a cruel ruler. She even ordered murders to protect her own and his family's power. She also ordered the St. Bartholomew's Night Massacre in Paris. She died on January 5, 1589. 

Maybe if she had had a more satisfying marriage, she wouldn't want to be more masculine than men.
