I think this is another longform article that does not do justice to the title. Yes there are interesting nuggets of information in there, but really all of that does not really lead to the "how". Tldr; Catherine brought perfumes and perfume laced gloves to france. She is rumored to have killed some one with a poison laced glove. It is not even clear if she actually ever even made a poison laced glove.
- ocfx 11y agoYeah the title was a bit off which made me sad. I was looking for a cool site like that with unique discussions historical events.
- quasse 11y agoYeah, the title should be something more like "How Catherine de Medici Probably Never Made Gloves Laced With Poison" because that's all the article is. She certainly didn't make poison gloves a fashion trend as implied by the title.
