Storyline

Louis appoints his lover Francoise to the council as he prepares to make Protestantism illegal. Guillaume offends Jeanne by recanting his religion to save their business whilst the queen falls fatally ill, leading to a theory of demonic possession. Fabien, however, suspects foul play and the king's public mourning is not reflected in private. Meanwhile a trade deal with Turkey proves to be a desire for an alliance against Austria.
