By her marriage to Henry III of Navarre later Henry IV of France she was Queen of Navarre and then France at her husband's 1589 accession to the latter throne. Their marriage was annulled in 1599 by decision of the Pope. She was the daughter of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici and the sister of Kings Francis II Charles IX and Henry III. Her marriage which was to celebrate the reconciliation of Catholics and Huguenots was tarnished by the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre and the resumption of the religious troubles which ensued. In the conflict between Henry III and the Malcontents she took the side of Francis Duke of Anjou her younger brother and this caused a deep aversion of the King against her. As Queen of Navarre she also played a pacifying role in the stormy relations between her husband and the French Monarchy. Shuttled back and forth between the two courts she endeavored to lead a happy conjugal life but her sterility and the political tensions inherent in the French Wars of Religion caused the end of her marriage. Mistreated by a brother quick to take offence and rejected by a fickle and opportunistic husband she chose the path of opposition in 1585. She took the side of the Catholic League and was forced to live in Auvergne in an exile which lasted twenty years. London and New York: Harper & Brothers, 1907 unknown books

The first volume of memoirs by the English playwright actor director and wit signed and inscribed on the half title to Maurice Chevalier: "Maurice / From one 'old Ham' / To another! / Noël / Arras 1939."

His trademark attire was a boater hat which he always wore on stage with a tuxedo. In 1958 he starred with Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan in Gigi and in the early 1960s he made eight films including Can-Can in 1960 and Fanny the following year.  The success of Gigi prompted Hollywood to give him an Academy Honorary Award that year for achievements in entertainment. <br style=""> William Heinemann Ltd hardcover books
