  • In 1499, King Louis XII of France had his 22-year marriage annulled to marry Anne of Brittany, one of the most powerful women in Europe. But what drove Louis to discard his first wife, Queen Joan (Jeanne) of France, after more than two decades of marriage?

    This is a story of royal scheming, political marriages, and a forgotten queen who would go on to become a saint. From childhood betrothals and strategic unions to claims of witchcraft, it’s a tale filled with scandal, betrayal, and resilience.

    Discover how this marriage changed the fate of Brittany and France forever — and what happened to the loyal queen who was cast aside.
