The rival queens : Catherine De' Medici, her daughter Marguerite De Valois, and the betrayal that ignited a kingdom

Nancy Goldstone

I like this author's writing, although I didn't care for the subject matter of some of her other books. This book has a detailed history of Queen Margot, which I appreciated very much. I particularly enjoyed reading about the history of her time spent in the south of France with and apart from her husband.

French histories tend to concentrate on her relationship with Henri de Guise.
