The Serpent Queen
Why this pick
Catherine de’ Medici’s sharp, survival-minded rise offers the same pleasure in courtly manoeuvring, intimate betrayals, and rulers treating romance as another instrument of power.

The Tudors
Why this pick
Its sumptuous palace world, volatile royal private life, and constant tension between desire, faith, and political control closely echo Versailles’ seductive high-stakes court drama.

The Borgias
Why this pick
For more ornate historical excess and morally fraught family politics: every affection, marriage, and betrayal carries consequences in a dangerously competitive ruling court.

Domina
Why this pick
It shares Versailles’ interest in power as a private, psychological game, following a formidable political operator through Rome’s ruthless aristocratic alliances.
05
Medici
Why this pick
