Did You Know?
| Trivia | Filmed in part at the Château Royal de Blois where some of the real events depicted occurred. The Château hosts light-and-sound show every year dramatizing the assassinations of Henry I, Duke of Guise, and Louis II, Cardinal of Guise. See more » |
| Goofs | While the events of the story take place in 1588, characters are depicted outside a wing of the Château de Blois that was built in in the mid-1630s. This François Mansart-designed section of the castle is stylistically, as well as historically, completely out of place for late 16th century French architecture. See more » |
